Blake Wilson

ENGINEER

B.B.A., Management Information Systems (University of Texas at Austin); M.S., Cybersecurity (in progress) (University of Tulsa); FEMA NIMS ICS

Blake’s passion for helping people and his love of a good challenge made cybersecurity a natural next step for him after working in a variety of software-related roles. At Rule4, he helps clients build and maintain secure IT environments.

Beyond helping people through his work, Blake has spent time volunteering with Best Buddies, an organization that offers one-on-one friendship and leadership development programs for individuals with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). 

Blake (aka gnome bard Zilwin Pebblefoot) is an avid tabletop roleplaying game fan, and he’s part of a weekly group that plays Dungeons & Dragons 5E. He’s also passionate about travel, and he considers his 12-day adventure to Tokyo with some long-time friends the trip of a lifetime. If time travel were possible, he’d want to go explore Ancient Egypt.

At home, Blake enjoys watching the San Antonio Spurs and Pittsburgh Steelers, and he heads outside to cycle or hike with his pups, Milo and Otis.
