OWASP Contributions

I have been contributing to OWASP since 2013. In 2013, along with Jeff Williams and Dave Wichers, we established the 501c3 organization that is now the OWASP Foundation. Since establishing the OWASP Foundation, I served as the de facto Chief Financial Officer of OWASP, until the OWASP Board established an Executive Director in mid 2013. During that time I negotiated and signed for virtually all contracts OWASP entered into with other parties. I also established all the financial accounts for the OWASP Foundation including bank accounts, credit cards, tax IDs, and helped hire most of the employees of the OWASP Foundation. I also helped determine the employee benefits these employees would receive, and established the procedures for how they would receive those benefits including health insurance, payroll, etc. In late 2014, I volunteered to become the OWASP Conferences Chair where I launched the OWASP Conferences Series, personally organized all the U.S. and European AppSec conferences from 2005 through 2013, and helped launch the Global Conferences Committee in 2014, which organized the conferences from 2009 through 2012. The OWASP Conferences have grown to serve as a primary fundraising resource for OWASP. I have also spent countless hours helping to initially establish the OWASP wiki, and then continuing to improve it, proofreading articles, encouraging others to contribute, etc.

As a volunteer to OWASP, Dave is or has been:
