Dave Mortensen

I worked on Hollywood film shoots for two years, met many A-list celebrities, then took a break after the writers decided to strike. In the two years that followed, I lost 100 lbs, graduated fifth in my police academy class, and briefly served as a police officer in the Los Angeles area. When that city's salary scandal made national news, I resigned looking for a brighter future. My knowledge of tech affords me the ability to serve as a technology consultant for some clients.
