Andrew Byer, Attorney, was born in 1962 in Jersey City, New Jersey, into a family enriched by his Italian immigrant mother's heritage. This bicultural environment, which included significant time spent in Italy, ingrained a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, influencing his aspirations and later career in international law. He pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at Columbia University, graduating in 1984, and his global perspective was further enhanced by a semester abroad in France.

After completing his Juris Doctor at Syracuse University College of Law in 1987, Andrew began his legal career in South Florida. His initial role was as Lease Administrator and Legal Counsel at Miracle Marketplace in Coral Gables, where he honed his skills in commercial law by managing lease negotiations and tenant relations.

In 1990, Andrew's career path shifted toward international business when he assumed the role of Director of Operations for Maria Pia, an Italian shoe manufacturer, in closing its U.S. operations. His fluency in Italian and comprehensive legal knowledge were crucial in overseeing the orderly shutdown of the company's American presence. He continued to build on this international experience from 1991 to 1994 as General Counsel and Director of International Sales at Intracorp, Inc., a firm that developed video gaming software. In this role, Andrew was pivotal in securing licensing deals with Hollywood studios, allowing for the creation of video games based on popular films, which dramatically expanded the company’s reach into global markets.

In 1994, leveraging his extensive legal and international business experience, Andrew founded the Law Offices of Andrew Byer. His practice specializes in helping European companies enter and thrive in the U.S. market, offering legal guidance and strategic business insights. His multilingual skills and deep understanding of cross-border transactions made his firm a valuable asset to its clients.

Driven by his love for high-quality audio, Andrew opened Magnum Opus Audio in 2007, a Fort Lauderdale boutique specializing in high-end audio and home theater systems. As the retail landscape evolved, he shifted his entrepreneurial focus to real estate, founding AJ&J Holdings, LLC, and later Bozhlona, Inc. in 2024, focusing on property management.

Outside his professional life, Andrew is an active philanthropist, mainly engaged in animal welfare and community service initiatives. Today, Andrew Byer significantly contributes to his industry and community, utilizing his vast experience in law, business, and real estate.

Her ability to maintain high academic standards while managing professional responsibilities shows the level of focus and discipline that has guided her journey.

She chose to step away from her professional role to focus on motherhood, household management, and her children’s development, using the same structure she had practiced throughout her academic and legal career.

Their daughter is a two-time Junior Olympian in Taekwondo and is training to compete in the 2028 Olympic Games. Their son, who began with baseball and track, is now a registered amateur boxer. She actively supports their training, education, and day-to-day routines.

She enjoys Pilates and has a personal interest in fashion and shopping. For over 20 years, she has supported causes related to multiple sclerosis, honoring the memory of her mother-in-law, who passed in 2024.

Angel DeBlasio and her husband will celebrate 22 years of marriage in January 2026. Through each chapter, she continues to lead her family with consistency and care.

Hacker. Strategist. Reluctant Adult.

Cody Kretsinger used to be the problem. Now he helps solve them.

A former black hat hacker turned cybersecurity strategist, Cody has spent the past decade leading Red, Blue, and Purple teams—attacking, defending, and occasionally arguing with himself somewhere in between. He’s navigated high-stakes breaches, built security programs from scratch, and explained (more than once) why clicking “Enable Macros” should probably be a felony.

Cody’s stage presence is sharp, candid, and refreshingly real. He’s delivered no-fluff, war story-packed talks at top security conferences like GrrCon and BSides—blending uncomfortable truths with the kind of humor that makes infosec folks both laugh and wince. He’s also a co-founder of a nonprofit dedicated to helping cybersecurity professionals stay ahead of emerging threats.

Today, Cody works with MSPs, MSSPs, and security teams that are done being reactive and ready to fight smarter. He brings real-world tactics, razor-sharp insight, and a steady hand when things go sideways.

No buzzwords. No fluff. The kind of strategy you only get from someone who once broke the rules to learn them.
