I'm Jayson Ek. I retired as a Navy Chief after 20 years in the United States Navy aboard destroyers and carriers, with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. That experience taught me what it means to operate in high-stakes environments where precision and discipline aren't optional. Today, I oversee a penetration testing team and have the privilege of working alongside some of the best emerging talent in the industry.

I'm a founding member of DEF CON Group 710 out of the Mojave Desert. When I'm not on an engagement or chasing flags, you'll find me in the HackSmarter Discord or grinding boxes on HTB.

$ cat ./journey.log
From standing watch on a destroyer in hostile waters to standing up cybertest infrastructure—it's been one hell of a ride. The military taught me discipline, attention to detail, and how to operate under pressure. Offensive security gave me a new mission. Now I get to combine both: leading operators, planning engagements, and occasionally still getting my hands dirty in the trenches.
