Name: Paul TicasRank: 1st Lieutenant, CAP
Age: 24
Interests/Hobbies: I enjoy anything that is technology related. Playing video games, going to the movies, hanging out with friends and family. Learning about new techologies and how they can make life better. Anything that humps, beeps and plugs in generally interests me.Why you joined CAP: I joined C.A.P. at first to see what it was about. My brother and my nephew are also members. I have been in CAP for about 15 months and I have learned so much as far as leadership goes and really doing things for others, mainly the cadets and their program. I saw that my squadrons IT infrastructure was lacking and being an IT professional, I felt that I would be able to do the most good in this program if I joined.
Why you are doing Cyber Patriot: Being the squadron's Information technology Officer, I felt it was definitely my duty to coach this. We have some of the greatest cadets in our program and I know that computers and cyber defense interest them so it made sense to get a team together. I am extremely excited to see the team grow and also how far we will be able to go in this competition.
