Speaker Bio

I'm Brent Laster - a global trainer and book author, DevOps director at a top technology firm, and founder and president of Tech Skills Transformations LLC. I've been working with and presenting at NFJS events for ten years now and it is always exciting and interesting.

Through my decades in programming and management,I've always tried to make time to learn and develop both technical and leadership skills and share them with others Regardless of the topic or technology, my belief is that there is no substitute for the excitement and sense of potential that come from providing others with the knowledge they need to help them accomplish their goals.

In my spare time, I hang out with my wife Anne-Marie, 4 children and a small dog in Cary, North Carolina and design trainings and write books.
