However, this wasn’t a career path, and so university called, and a job as an aerospace engineer, with a side line of databases and coding, became his daily reality. He escaped before dying of boredom, but it was close!After quitting the “big corp” world, he spent a year learning absolutely everything he could about locks. This is before the internet was quite as valuable a resource as it is today, and rather a lot of self-teaching and figuring things out happened – and most locksmiths didn’t even pick locks. As a locksmith for around 17 years now, he has watched as attitudes have changed, and has now taught thousands of people, including many other locksmiths, to pick locks at various courses, conferences and events. He has lectured and presented at everything from corporate ice breaker events to, of course, the various LockCon. Under assorted NDA he has also consulted with lock manufacturers and designers, and found many an exploit for physical security devices. A dedicated maker of many things, but especially tools.

"A comprehensive overview of everything there is to know about the emerging hobby known as locksport, Locksport covers not only the mechanics and techniques for picking standard pin tumbler locks, but also more exotic lever locks, opening safes with dial manipulation, and using impressioning to make keys for locks without taking them apart. The authors do a masterful job of teaching these technical skills and guiding newcomers on how to connect with the locksport community at competitions and events. Readers will find that this book saves countless hours hunting down tips and tricks that took the experts years to acquire. Highly recommended!" —Anthony Thompson, The Lock Sportscast“Locksport is an amazing and varied hobby that can be enjoyed by all.

This fantastic book embodies that spirit, with some of the most influential and respected people in the locksport community coming together to share a priceless wealth of information, techniques, and experience with us all.” —Lock Noob, YouTube.com/locknoob"How to succeed in Locksport 101.  This book provides an excellent path for getting into locksport, how to get into the competition mindset, and how to run your own competitions.  The authors' determination to provide information only relevant to the sport aspect of lockpicking shows.

It was also a nice motivation booster for me to tackle harder locks."—Julien Voisin, Artificial Truth"The authors, well versed and immersed in the field, [do] a fine job at drawing the reader into this fascinating world of lockpicking, especially by bringing the engaging competition aspect into it. I hope you will enjoy reading (absorbing?) this book as much as I did. My copy has already found its permanent space on my bookshelf. My picks are within reach at all times."—Sven Dietrich, IEEE Cipher"A complete and comprehensive course in lock picking for any and all occasions and types of locks, Locksport: A Hackers Guide to Lockpicking, Impressioning, and Safe Cracking — written by five experienced lock picking experts — is a unique, special, 'user friendly', DIY instruction guide and 'how-to' manual that will prove an unusual and enduringly popular pick."—Wisconsin Bookwatch
