Meet the experts behind ART Educational's cybersecurity training excellence

Benjamin Franz Hausmann

Benjamin Franz Hausmann

Educator, CEO, & Founder

Benjamin Franz Hausmann is a cybersecurity analyst and educator, and third culture kid who grew up in Budapest, Scotland, and the wilds of Western Montana. Ben fell in love with computers in the wild west of the 90s internet where he would pretend that he was a character from a William Gibson novel while wardialing computers at the local university between rollerblading and mountain biking sessions all to a “techno” soundtrack. He spent the late 2010s on IRC and deep in the online forms of the Skyrim modding community. After the pandemic he decided to turn his love of breaking computers into a career and enrolled in a cybersecurity bootcamp through the University of Colorado and started ART Educational to fill a gap he saw in the cybersecurity education community. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking, reading, skiing, travel, hiking with his dog, and driving his 4Runner to the far reaches of the earth.

Yusef Marra

Yusef Marra

Educator & Chief Technology Officer

Yusef Marra is a software engineer and web developer who grew up crashing sail boats in the surf of Kailua Bay on the island of Oahu. While he misses the ocean sometimes, he will admit having seasons is “pretty cool” and learned the joys this year of shoveling February sidewalks here in Montana. Before moving to the mainland, he worked for the University of Hawaii as a PHP developer, PDC systems as a Python/Django developer, and for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a Java Developer. He is committed to lifelong learning and in the last year has also added Lua and Rust to his arsenal of programming knowledge. While web development has been his professional focus his non-work interests include PC gaming, HAM radio, robotics, and Krav Maga.

Dante Doggiano

Dante Doggiano

Chief Cybercrime Sniffer (Brittany Spaniel Division)

Dante Doggiano is a cybersecurity watchdog with an unrivaled nose for vulnerabilities. Whether sniffing out suspicious packets or tracking down elusive security flaws, he never lets a single breach go unnoticed. With a Brittany Spaniel’s relentless drive, Dante hunts down cyber threats faster than a rogue script running on an open port. He specializes in tailing bad actors, retrieving lost passwords, and chasing down digital intruders. His bark alone is enough to scare off low-effort phishing scams. Though he takes his role seriously, Dante knows when to take a break—preferably with a well-earned nap under a desk.
