Richard Davis

Richard Davis received his first computer, an Atari 800XL, in 1984 at age seven and immediately knew he wanted to work in technology. He began writing his own programs in BASIC, and later C, then got his first IT job in 1995. A year later, at age 19, Richard started his own company, TetraSoft Computers, providing service, networking, consulting, and training, then grew it into one of the largest computer service providers in northwest Georgia.

After 10 years of operation, Richard sold the company and went to work for the University System of Georgia, where he held multiple roles including Chief Information Security Officer. He eventually landed at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he now serves as Chief Information Security Officer.
