Get to know Brownrice.
(And the friendly people that work here.)
Born out of a true love for technology and the Internet, Brownrice started as a one person programming company and has grown to be a 10 person data center and systems administration company. We are still small enough to know our clients' online goals but are large enough to provide the redundancy, experience, and reliability that businesses can depend on.
We own our own state-of-the-art, solar-powered, air-cooled data center and utilize off-site data centers for remote backups and redundant network peering.
Running a data center company from a small town in Northern New Mexico takes grit and perserverance and we feel that in the end those traits have served us and our customers quite well.

He's an accomplished Web Programmer, Database Engineer and Systems Administrator.

Vanessa Moon
Director of Operations and Projects
Vanessa Moon started at Dell Computers and her successful career while there was interrupted by love for an artist in Taos, New Mexico, whom she married and left Austin and Dell. In New Mexico Vanessa worked as Technical Support Manager for a software company that specialized in Ticketing, Point-of-Sale and Guest Management solutions for Ski Resorts, Park & Attractions and Museums & Non-profits. She is now a Manager at Brownrice Internet and loving every minute of it. At Brownrice, when not managing everyone's tasks and deadlines, she pitches in and helps with support calls and testing.
Logan Glasscock
Data Center Manager
Logan is a self-taught, hands-on Systems Admistrator and Programmer who was born and raised in Taos, NM. He was building custom JavaScript web sites for (not-much) money as a young teen and has always kept a pile of computers around his house that he turns into useful things. He's a bonafide Linux junky and programs the back-end of many the best systems at Brownrice. Case in point: Logan was the creator of one of the first, commerical-grade, fully-automated Let's Encrypt SSL hosting deployments on the internet. And he's been known to wear camo while fixing the most challenging issues in our data center.
Nathan Kappen
Director of Security
Nate Kappen was born and raised in Houston, Texas, where he grew up with a love for computers, video games and technology. He started his career as a support technician and worked his way up into system administration and web security, utilizing his problem-solving skills and love of technology to tackle complex challenges. However, even with a successful career in tech, Nate hasn't lost his love for the thrill of the ride. When he's not snowboarding in the local mountains he spends much of his free time in his Taos garage building fast cars and bikes, incorporating the latest technology into his creations. He is currently the Director of Security at Brownrice Internet, where he oversees day to day web security, PCI/HIPAA compliance and server-hardening.
