Marshall Brain

Marshall Brain (yes, that is his real name!) is the
founder and CEO of HowStuffWorks, Inc. A published author
with more than a dozen books to his name, including the
popular The Teenager's Guide to the Real World,
Marshall began HowStuffWorks.com as a hobby—a way to learn
more about the world and to share that knowledge with online
readers. Today, the company has expanded to include
magazines, kids clubs, and book. Marshall lives just outside
Raleigh, NC, with his wife Leigh, son David, and daughter Irena.
