The whole site is sketchy. A PhD and a JD. All these high level positions at well-known places. A website with very vague claims about heroically saving things. Almost no google presence other than this site. And 4 LinkedIn connections. Maybe I'm just cynical, but it's pegging my BS meter.

No David Lyon in there. It goes straight from Luncheon to Martinez and Lynch to Mackey for Graduates and Candidates, respectively. Page 35

Nope, BS meter is correct. You can find the 2017 commencement documents for New York Law School online and David Lyon is not on the list of JD graduates...

Interesting…both the linkedIn profile and the website appear to be gone.

Archive.org did a round of saving his entire website, including the posts and "papers" just before it was taken down: https://web.archive.org/web/20250715045222/https://lyons-den...

Interesting if the whole character was a scam. The current employer is not disclosed in his CV, qualifications are fake (also flagged on Reddit by someone who says they are an ex colleague https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/1m0198c/comment/n3fiwk...) - what else?
