About

My name is Richie Williams and I am a Network Security Administrator & data security advocate for K12, and sometimes speaker at conferences. I have worked in education for 20 years as a technology professional. Sometimes when I am not working with technology, I am illustrating children’s books. In 2021, I wrote and illustrated my own children’s book titled Don’t Forget Your Password!: Tips and Tricks for Creating The Perfect Password it is a colorful and fun book for ages 5-11 about creating the perfect password!
