Skyler W. King

Skyler W. King is a cybersecurity product manager for a major telecommunications company. Prior to that role, he participated in that company's Cybersecurity Development Program, where he completed annual rotations in different business units nationwide to learn about the cybersecurity business within the company.

Skyler finished writing his first book, Two Pieces of Paper, just months after graduating. This allowed him to capture the material while it was still fresh in his memory, and present it in a way that would resonate with high school and college students also pursuing college for a career.

He also owns and operates Opa Salt, an award winning seasoning company that distributes his family’s legendary all-purpose seasoning blend.

He has a bachelor’s degree in cyber engineering from Louisiana Tech University with a double minor in Mathematics and Computer Science. While attending school, Skyler completed three separate summer internships with three different publicly traded technology companies, and maintained part-time student employment sponsored by one of those companies working as a student lab manager of an on-campus lab facility.

He has industry certifications from CompTIA (Security+ and Network+) and Splunk (Core Certified Power User) and is working on the (ISC)^2 Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification. Skyler currently resides in Dallas, TX.
