Get to know the experts.
Clinton Campbell, CISSP is founder, principal consultant, and instructor for Quirktree. He has more than 16 years of experience in cybersecurity and privacy as well as 8 years of academic and professional experience in mental health. Upon completion of an MS in Computer Science from the University of Tulsa’s Center for Information Security, Clinton joined the National Security Agency’s Information Assurance Directorate where he spent several years digging for weaknesses in cryptographic systems. Over the years, his perspective on cybersecurity has evolved through various technical and leadership responsibilities in the security domain. Oddly enough, Clinton says that his work as a psychotherapist has played an equal if not greater role in shaping his approach to the industry’s most difficult challenges.

Rachel Petillo is on our content creation team who helps create the videos you see on Quirktree’s thinkific website. She believes that the information we deal with every day is quite boring. That being said, the information is incredibly important. She wants to find more ways to help make this topic a little more entertaining and digestible. What good does training do if you're so painfully bored that you don’t retain it?
Rachel studied Film and Video Production at Oklahoma City Community College and was placed on the President’s Honor Roll for maintaining a 4.0 GPA. She left OCCC right at the end of her second year to work for film director Francis Ford Coppola at his winery in California. She assisted him for 2.5 years before returning back to Oklahoma where she briefly worked on local productions. Her experience helps push our videos a bit more towards the “entertaining” side of the spectrum and we aim to strike a balance between value and entertainment/retention. Rachel is currently studying the more technical side of what we do since joining our team 3 years ago.
Preston Petillo was brought on to the Quirktree team in January of 2020. He graduated from Oklahoma City Community College in 2019 with a Digital Media Production Degree. Throughout college and in the years he has been employed he has 7 years of experience in the Film Industry, and has worked on numerous projects including the recent Oklahoma show Tulsa King.
Since being brought on, Preston has moved up to the Lead Editor & Colorist position, as well as being one of our Video Production Managers.
Faith Petillo is a video producer and digital designer who brings a love and understanding of artistic design to her role at Quirktree. She graduated in 2018 with a degree in Digital Cinema Production and has since spent over five years in the film, television and media industries. Faith was drawn to the industry by her belief in the power of digital media and art to share unique perspectives across the world and to teach, learn, and communicate across physical barriers.
Faith currently works to infuse entertainment into the digital security space by assisting in creating fun educational videos for Quirktree.
Greg Lamb is a Principal Engineer at Quirktree with two decades in software delivery. He got his start in broadband as a software engineer embedded in a network engineering team, building the systems that provisioned and monitored data and phone services. That seat gave him a working view of the entire stack, wire to software, and since then he has held nearly every role, from hands-on development to engineering leadership. As a consultant, he spent years turning legacy systems into cloud-native platforms. Some of it was healthcare work, some for Fortune 100 companies, plenty for organizations nowhere near that size. He does his best work when the path isn't obvious, whether that means leading the effort or stepping in wherever a project needs him.
Greg's current interest lies in how teams can adopt AI across the software development lifecycle without adding risk or inconsistency to how they deliver. He mentors the engineers and leaders he works with and takes that as seriously as the systems they build. Outside of work, Greg lives in the Seattle area with his family and is dad to two boys.
