Bill Wacker is a graduate of Ball State University with a MS.  I spent the bulk of my career with IBM in Seattle and Cleveland and have transitioned into security the past 4 years.   I have had much success working with Enterprise Customers in the Enterprise Space in the state of Ohio and really am passionate about helping our customers achieve their security objectives.    I live in Rocky River, have three kids and love boating, all Cleveland sports, (Browns, big sigh) and I like to think of myself as an amateur chef!
