About your host
Bill Alderson
Bill Alderson is a historian at heart, a storyteller by nature, and a technologist by trade. For more than four decades, he has solved some of the toughest challenges in cybersecurity and networks — from helping restore communications at the Pentagon on 9/11 to training thousands of professionals worldwide.
But beyond technology, Bill is the proud grandson of Mabel and Ed Plaskett, California pioneers who passed down stories of resilience, family, and the rugged Big Sur coast. As the family historian, he has gathered photographs, journals, and documents to preserve the heritage of the Plaskett family for future generations.
Through this podcast, Bill shares those stories — weaving together history, heritage, and personal reflections — so that listeners, whether family or friends, can connect with the enduring spirit of the Monterey County coast.
