Ronald Godfrey is a retired computer forensic examiner for a Fortune 100 company. He has twenty-five years of computing experience that span multiple disciplines. As an employee of a National Aeronautics and Space Administration and U.S Government contractor, Ron was responsible for administering computer security procedures and ensuring compliance with government and company requirements for computing systems operating in heterogeneous environments.

The computing security and corporate investigation skills eventually merged, and his career focus became computing forensics. In his twenty years of computing forensics experience, Ron has supported numerous investigations for internal and external organizations tasked with enforcing policies and laws. His involvement in multiple large scale litigation cases have helped define e-discovery methods and processes used in federal litigation cases.

Ron is a Data Recovery/Computer Forensic instructor at Highline Community College in Seattle, WA and a board member of the Computer Technology Investigators Network (CTIN).

Ron holds a Computer Forensic Examiner Certificate from Highline Community College, and has extensive training in Microsoft Certified Systems Engineering, Department of Defense Information Technology security, SANS, and vendor computer courses.
