About Us

The Brooklyn Blogfather was founded by Richard Carey, a creative director and producer of innovative web applications, simulations, games and educational technology products for Scholastic, Pearson Education, McGraw-Hill, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and many other leading companies.

After helping several colleagues build websites one wrote a post touting Richard as his Blogfather. The label stuck and the rest is history. Today, Richard manages a talented team of WordPress designers, coders and editors from Boston to Mumbai who have worked together to build and help manage sites for authors, creatives, professionals, pundits and publishers across the country.

We owe props to the late Robert Guskind, founder of the Gowanus Lounge and Brooklyn’s first “Blogfather” back when this Blogfather was only a fig newton of the imagination.

Bob was a talented journalist, author, photographer and editor whose deep interest in urban issues took root and flourished throughout the 1980s and 90s at National Journal, the Washington Post and other periodicals, and were reincarnated in this decade through his blog, which stood out for the quality and seeming ubiquitousness of its local news coverage. RIP Robert Guskind – 1958-2009.
