Interview With Kevin Fisher, Senior Support Engineer, Paraben

25th May 202017th September 2018 by Forensic Focus

Kevin, tell us a bit about yourself. What's your background, and how did you become interested in digital forensics?

I have always been a person with interest in electronics (hardware) taking apart and fixing TVs, CB Radios, VCRs and the like. I went back to school at the age of 41, and received my degree in computer science, technology, networking and securities.

I have always had an interest in law enforcement and wanted to be a police officer, following in my father’s footsteps so to speak. My dad was a deputy sheriff for Lincoln County in Montana. Digital forensics is the logical step between these two areas so I took it.
