About Cody Willett

Joining the Air Force right out of high school in 2007 started my journey. Having served 2 tours overseas, gaining invaluable experience and core values have put me in the right direction to succeed in life. In 2011, I received an Honorable Discharge having completed my enlistment. From there, I need to find out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Completing Basic training to become a Correctional Officer in Chemung County NY was my first try, Not enjoying that profession as much as I would have hoped, I set my sights on Computers. Using my GI Bill to obtain an Associates Degree in Networking and Database. I got the core education I needed to start my computer career. From there, I gained employment with Chautauqua County as Help Desk Support, then getting promoted to a PC Specialist with the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office which is where I currently work today. I have been studying ever since trying to catch up on a field I love. I completed CompTIA A+ and Linux Professional Certifications to get ahead of the curve. Currently I am studying for my CCNA and plan to take the exam in the upcoming months. I have gained specialized certifications with digital forensics working on criminal cases with the Sheriff's Office holding certifications from Cellebrite and a CCO(Certified Cellebrite Operator) and CCPA(Certified Cellebrite Physical Analyst) also taking training courses using EnCase Computer forensic software. I got a late start with the computer industry, but my drive and dedication will show how valuable I really can be.
