Ded Ryzing, Founder, Editor and Chief Technologist of TwoFourTECH.com is a geek and proud of it. Breaking into the world of computers at the ripe old age of 10, he has enjoyed (been a slave to) technology for over two decades. During this time he has been a System Administrator or hands-on tech for several ventures, including multi-billion dollar tech giants. He is also a security practitioner and hobbyist security researcher, as well as a open source evangelist and activist. He sometimes goes by his real world alias, Jason Dyok.

“I admire the pure elegance of Linux and Unix, and appreciate their power, security and versatility. First exposed to computers in 1984, Unix in 1994 and Linux in around 1996, my interest has grown steadily into the passion it is today. I firmly believe that the path to success can be found in Free and Open Source Software.”

During most waking hours, Ded can be found at a keyboard, reading some type of tech related book or magazine, or wishing he was at a keyboard or reading a technical book or magazine.
