Your Presenter: Derik White
Derik's career in public safety began in 1986 when he first started exploring the new CAD world and formed the company CAD Easy with his Dad, James White. In 1990 Derik and his partner Janice founded "The CAD Zone" in Beaverton, OR
CAD Zone was a first of its kind solution that made CAD use available to all. CAD Zone was acquired by FARO Technologies in 2014 and became the foundation for the software known today as FARO Zone. Derik moved to FARO at the time of acquisition to act as head of public safety software and has been an invaluable member of FARO ever since.
