Biography of Peter F. Brown

Peter F. Brown, an author, columnist, publisher and seminar speaker specializing in marriage, parenting and family topics, is the founder and owner of FutureRealm Productions, located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Peter and his wife Kim have owned their own business since 1987, when they permanently relocated to Virginia.

Initially, the business focused on database programming in dBASE / Clipper, desktop publishing, and general computer consulting. In 1991, Peter restructured the business with the long-term focus on publishing educational books and materials, and producing educational seminars.

Peter has also continued to provide programming services for the web, using Perl and MySQL, at 'worldcommunity.com'.

Peter is the author of the book, Striving for Parental Love -- A Practical Guide on Giving Parental Love to Children, and is now publishing it under the FutureRealm Productions imprint. He also produces a seminar on marriage, parenting and family issues called The HeartThread Seminar (so called due to its emphasis on the "thread" of heart between couples, parents and children, and families.) He is currently working on a new book entitled Building a Marriage of True Love.

Peter has created an Internet web site called The HeartThread Resource Page which deals with marriage, parenting and family issues, located at "http://futurerealm.com." Peter and Kim both write weekly columns on family issues which are published on the web site, and are syndicated in various publications around the country. Peter is the creator and publisher of The HeartThread Journal, a journal distributed via email on the Internet.

Peter has been very active in the non-profit educational and political arenas throughout his career. Beginning in 1979, he has given lectures and seminars on family and social issues, political issues, and world affairs. From 1984 until 1986, he was a City, and then State Director of CAUSA, an organization which produced national and local seminars that educated elected officials about the dangers of Marxism-Leninism and offered a comprehensive counter-proposal.

He served as the VA Executive Director of the American Freedom Coalition from 1987 until 1998, conducting many campaigns on issues as diverse as the support of the troops during Desert Storm and the passing into law of "Parent's Day" as a national holiday. He also serves as the VA State Director of the American Constitution Committee, which has supported many of the above projects. He and his wife Kim both serve as the Virginia coordinators of the National Parents Day Foundation.

In 1992, Peter managed a statewide program in Virginia, sponsored by the national American Freedom Coalition, which presented "Diamond Awards" to outstanding citizens and volunteers in recognition of their unique contributions to the community. Working with volunteers from around the state, over 40 events were held, with the cooperation of numerous mayors, city officials and ministers.

Recently, Peter has been active with the Washington Times Foundation, and its program of National Service awards (which debuted this year as an annual event.) He is the Virginia State Sales Rep for the Washington Times National Weekly Edition, a newspaper that has garnered kudos from numerous national-level leaders.

In 1994 he created, produced and edited The Richmond Republican, a tabloid newspaper distributed by the Richmond Republican Committee. Peter was a member of the Richmond Republican Executive Committee for a number of years, until he and his family moved to Virginia Beach in 1995. Although short-lived, due to financial restrictions, the newspaper received wide-spread praise for its content and design.

While in Richmond, Peter helped launch Citizens for Safe Streets (as its Executive Director), a Richmond-based political action committee dedicated to reducing violent crime in Richmond by 50%. The PAC had a significant impact on the Richmond City Council, which adopted a number of the organization's proposals in 1994.

On the international scale, Peter traveled to Guyana, South America in 1990 and organized and produced an ecumenical ministers conference with the theme "Guyana and the World of True Peace." He wrote and placed a full-page proclamation in Guyana's national newspaper, focused on the same theme, calling for the Guyanese people to adopt a world-level vision of God-centered service as the nation's primary perspective for the 21st century. Guyana at the time was moving away from a debilitating 30 year experiment with Marxism that had reduced the country to the status of the poorest country in the Caribbean, after Haiti.

Peter was born in Miami, and raised in Portland, Maine. He and his wife, Kim (a fellow New Englander), were married in 1982. They are the proud parents of four children: Tymon, Thea Grace, Ranin and Tadin.
