This post is based on an interview with Bryson Bort.  It is part of our series of interviews of OODA Network members. Our objective with these interviews is to provide actionable information of interest to the community, including insights that can help with your own career progression. We also really like highlighting some of the great people that make our continued research and reporting possible. For the full series see: OODA Expert Network Bio Series.

Career Progression: Bryson was one of those geeks who enjoyed taking things apart and breaking them.  He took naturally to computers.  After he graduated from West Point with a degree in Computer Science, he joined the Signal Corps.  He served as a Battle captain and Brigade Engineering Officer in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  After four years, he was ready for a new challenge.
