About Chris

I’m Chris Hamilton, an Ohio native who grew up in Blanchester and went to Morehead State University. While in college, I joined the Army Reserves and served as a Signal and Cyber Officer, including deployment to support Operation Freedom's Sentinel. I’ve lived and worked across Ohio, giving me a deep connection to communities throughout the state. After a successful career at Microsoft in Seattle, I moved near DC and and most recently worked at Oracle. I hold a Master's in Information Systems and I’m a respected cybersecurity leader, frequent speaker, and strong advocate for bridging the tech education gap. I’m empathetic and solutions-focused, and I’m dedicated to building a future where Ohio thrives through innovation, community, and hometown spirit.
