About Michael Brown

Hello! My name is Michael or Mike and I'm a thinker, designer, dad and husband, disc golfer (PDGA# 190945), entrepreneur, Lean Startup Advocate and Outdoorsman. I'll give you a summary of me first and then I'll dive into some things.The first thing you should know about me is that I am a father, and my number one priority is to provide a great life for my kids and wife. The second thing you should know about me is that I am an Outdoorsman. I love spending time outside. Rain, sunshine, snow, day or night, it doesn't matter. I'll be out disc golfing, camping, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, or playing yard games. The third thing is that I'm a thinker and creator, like I mentioned up above. I am a thinker, an innovator, and entrepreneur at heart. If it is a new product, service, app or just a simple problem, I have a great ability to come up with new and innovative solutions. I am very passionate about my ideas and that shows with how many projects I have started. I love new Ideas.Anyway, that's a little about me.The outdoors are a big part of my life, so I want to dive more into the hobbies that I have there and what they mean to me. My main hobby can switch depending on the season and who I am spending my time with. As of now and for the 2 months or so, my number one thing is disc golf. I also don't see this one changing anytime soon. About 2-3 months ago, my buddy and brother-from-another-mother, Braden and I decided to go play around of disc golf instead of go fishing. We only had 3 discs that we shared between the two of us. We played on round and instantly we were hooked. We got breakfast, while we waited for our local sport shop to open. We bought 3 more discs and played another round. 2 months and 40 discs later, we get out at least 2 times a week to play a round or 3. Disc golf for me is what keeps me going throughout the week without getting completely overwhelmed and drowning with everything I need to do. Disc golf is my therapy. It's what I use to reset from my struggles and get that natural energy flowing into my mind and body.
Some of the other outdoor hobbies that I love doing and have a big passion for, is fly fishing, mountain biking, backpacking, hiking, camping, hunting, shooting, snowboarding, wakeboarding, wake surfing and even wake skating. Basically, if it an activity gets me outside, I'm all for it.As I mentioned above, I am very passionate about ideas. It doesn't just have my idea, for me to like it. I use Kickstarter all the time and I've backed a good amount of campaigns. Most of my ideas are revolve around physical products. Not all though, I have several ideas that are web or mobile based, like apps and other software services. I love being creative and thinking of new ideas. It's definitely my strongest quality and I use it everyday. If I'm not outside or watching Netflix with my wife or kids, and even sometimes while I'm doing those, I'll be working on a new Idea.I like telling stories and could go on and on about my life and the things that I like to do but I'll hold off on that. Life is a lot better when you get to learn about someone right along side them.With that, if we aren't connected yet send me an invite on LinkedIn and a message. If we are already connected, send me an email or message. I would love to chat about what opportunities you have and what I can do to help.
