Robert is the founder and president of the Trace Labs, a non profit organization that crowdsources open source intelligence (OSINT) to help locate missing persons. If you are interested in hosting a Trace Labs OSINT Search Party at your next event, reach out to robert.sell@tracelabs.org.
He is also the founder of his new project, the Alpha Omega Agency which focusses on teaching how to defend against corporate espionage. He will be hosting spy schools at various conferences in the near future. If you are interested in an interactive "spy school" workshop, reach out to Robert.
He has spoken at conferences and podcasts around the world on subjects such as social engineering, open source intelligence, physical security, insider threats, operational security and other topics. In 2017 and 2018 he competed at the Social Engineering Village Capture the Flag contest. He placed third in this contest (both years). In 2018, he actually ran his own Trace Labs OSINT CTF while participating (and placing 3rd) in the SECTF at Defcon Vegas. Robert has also volunteered with Search and Rescue in British Columbia, Canada for over a decade. In his search & rescue capacity, Robert specializes in physically tracking lost persons and teaching first responders how to leverage OSINT.
