“Are you a mountain person, desert person or an ocean person,” someone recently asked me?  As I stood there thinking about it i realized I’m none of the above. Although it may not be sexy, cool or all that popular, I’m a “wide open fields” kind of guy. Perhaps it’s because I grew up in Nebraska, literally across the street from corn fields.

"Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!" -Golda Meir Golda was right, Israel has no oil and very little by way of natural resources.

Most people I speak with don't realize (though are hardly surprised by) that Israel's largest tech sector is cybersecurity, accounting for roughly 20% of its tech market. Cyber is everywhere you go here in Israel, and dominates in so many ways. One of the reasons (most people also don't realize) is because it cuts across industries.
