About Me

My name is Rob Brown. I’m an I.T. professional with a diverse amount of creative and practical experience.

I pride myself on being good at 3 things: Solving problems, being creative and when given the opportunity, leading by example. I work hard and I’m proud of that. This blog is an extension of what I do and what I’m thinking about. Like any personal blog, it is updated irregularly and has the primary purpose of occasionally archiving things that I would like to talk about.

4 things about me:

1. My work has taken me half way around the world and I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of it. I call Toronto home.
2. If someone asks me what I would like to drink, I usually answer “rye and ginger please.”
3. The thread that connects my career is Information Technology. I refer to myself as “a creative I.T. pro with years of experience.” I have been a technical consultant and strategist, a teacher who helped pioneer the first accredited online high school in North America, the Chief Technology Officer for an online advertising company, and an entrepreneur trying to make my mark on the world.
4. I have a really great family. Not only does my wife, Brandy put up with all of the crazy stuff I do, but she supports and sometimes even encourages it. My kids (Avery and Carter) give me a lot more than I give them. I try to even the score every day.
