Hi, I’m Randy Brown.
WordPress Expert | Divi Specialist | Industrial Engineer| Content Strategist | Pastor | Guitar Enthusiast
I spent 20 years in technical fields before building a content business I genuinely love. That path — electronics technician to industrial engineer to writer to online entrepreneur — is exactly why I can teach WordPress and online business in a way most people can’t.
I started as an electronics technician doing component-level repair on projection TVs, audio systems, and satellite receivers. Factory-trained by Mitsubishi, Philips, RCA, Zenith, and others. Then I spent a decade at Denso Manufacturing as an engineering technician and later as an industrial engineer working on lean manufacturing, AutoCAD, line balancing, standard work, and teaching industrial engineering basics in the classroom.
When I left Denso in 2014, I started a writing business. I’ve written over 1,000 articles for WordPress companies including Elegant Themes, GoDaddy, WP Mayor, and dozens of others. I built BibleBuyingGuide.com to 30,000 monthly readers, wrote for Thomas Nelson and Zondervan, made videos for Zondervan, and designed a Bible that sold out two printings (so far). Denso even brought me back years later as a contract technical writer to consolidate procedure documentation across three of their manufacturing plants.
I’m also a pastor, which means I spend a lot of time teaching and communicating complex ideas to real people. That shapes how I write and teach: clearly, patiently, and with the reader in mind.
Randyabrown.com exists because I want to help people like me (creatives, engineers, tradespeople, ministry workers) who have real expertise and want to build something online with it. I know what it’s like to start with nothing and figure it out one step at a time. That’s what I teach here.

Outside the work
A little more about me
I live in Sweetwater, Tennessee. I’m a pastor, which means teaching and communicating are woven into most of what I do. I play guitar and post about it probably more than I should. I’m an INFJ, which means I do my best work going deep on things I care about rather than skimming across a lot of topics — and that shapes everything about how I approach this site. I’d rather have a small audience that genuinely trusts me than a large one that barely knows I exist.
