David Bruerd, CITRMS                                         Founder and Executive Director of iTAG

After becoming a victim himself in 2001, David Bruerd founded the Identity Theft Awareness Group™ (iTAG).  While others were scrambling to tell people to lock their mailboxes and buy a shredder, Mr. Bruerd was warning consumers of potential health risks, Social Security and tax issues, financial disasters and the reality that they could face false imprisonment as a result of someone stealing their identity.  He has helped to implement Identity Theft Protection programs which today protect thousands of American identities and even more recently, he has been educating major corporations, Hospitals, Government agencies and Small Business on how to better protect identities and Non-Public Information (NPI) of their employees and customers.  Because of his early work in the field, Mr. Bruerd was the first professional in the in the nation to receive the professional designation as a ‘Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialist’ (CITRMS).
