My name is Glen Brown and I have been in technology and education since the year 2000. I began my technical career as a software developer and once proving myself in that industry I moved on to teaching technology instead. I started teaching part time at a university while still developing software and then in June of 2006 I moved to a full time training role.
I worked my way up a Fortune 500 company from where I entereed as a trainer responsible for the training in 2 states of Australia to taking over the national training team and then on to looking after the APAC region with global responsibility for training on products developed in the zone.
I have spent 15 years travelling the world teaching industrial automation to thousands of students from all industry verticals and business sizes. During this time I have amassed a huge knowledge of the industry and its products and how they can be effectively used and became certified in many different products, technologies and processes.
This is all the knowledge I still teach today contracting back to different companies and what I will be share with you on this site.
