[Jeremy@Galloway]$ ./resume

whoami: My name is Jeremy Galloway. While I have two college degrees concentrating on IT,

numerous certifications and nearly 10 years of experience in the industry, what really distinguishes me

is my genuine interest and enthusiasm for learning information security. My passion for it goes well

beyond my professional life and into my personal life. I find it infinitely fascinating and would love the

opportunity to focus my career on it and work with it everyday.
