Keith Brown brings a unique in-depth blend of technology and communities development to the table.  He grew up in the broadcasting and electronics industries, moving into computing in the mid-1970s. After running his own computer consulting firm for 30 years, specializing in custom integrated multi-user business applications including accounting, CRM, asset management, POS, Inventory, and HR... he most recently is moving the technology to the Web 2-3 user interface. He has participated as a founder of several computing start-ups, and has a wide variety of high profile customers, from Epson America, to CH2MHill, Les Schwab Tires, and Hollywood Video. His most recent position is Chief Technology Architect with FohBoh, Inc., the leading social media company for the foodservice industry.

In the realm of community building, Mr. Brown has been involved in developing and producing Network For a New Culture's intentional community workshops for the last 16 years.  He also, with his partner, leads some of these community building workshops.

Mr. Brown is a past-president of the Oregon Computer Consultants Association, a former member of the Audio Engineering Society, SMPTE, and for the past three years worked with FohBoh in focusing and developing its next-generation Social Media tools.  He is currently involved in the HTML5 and CSS3 implementations.

At FohBoh, Mr. Brown has lead the development of three overall system revisions, the technical creation of FohBoh Brand Central, and invented and implemented the FohBoh Membership Manager, a unique software environment creating seamless member-asset management across disparate feature and service provider platforms.   Current projects revolve around Social Media metrics tools and sentiment analysis.
