Security Engineer Tempe

[Michael Butash]

Just out of curiosity, anyone know of such a mythical beast?

I've met a lot of good and talented folks throughout the years across 
the country, but about as close as I could figure was roughly 3-4 of 
them to meet the "requirements" they want here.  I'd gotten the same 
email, and replied to Grant as such.  :)
