He is the senior director and chief academic fellow at the Institute for Faith & Freedom and a former visiting fellow atthe Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Kengor is a longtime columnist for The American Spectator and was named editor in chief of the magazine in September 2022, to succeed founder R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. He is an internationally recognized authority on several subjects, particularly Ronald Reagan, the Cold War and Marxism/Communism, conservatism, faith and politics, and the American presidency.
As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh in the late 1980s, Kengor was pre-med and minored in biochemistry/biophysics and microbiology. From 1987-91, he worked part-time and ultimately full-time upon graduation for the organ transplant team of Dr. Thomas Starzl.

Prior to joining the organization, Brown served as Chief Development Officer at global nonprofit Food for the Hungry, where he grew the total revenue by 16% to a FY22 total of more than $81 million, despite the inherent obstacles of the COVID-19 pandemic. This growth trajectory continues today. Without compromising the organization’s faith-based identity, Brown led the development of a fourth-sector, corporate engagement strategy, favorably positioning the organization to petition substantial USAID funding in coming years.
A graduate of Arizona State University, Brown holds dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business Management and English, and has completed post-graduate courses at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.
His background includes time spent as a stockbroker, singer/songwriter, concert promoter, and for a short time, he ran a small Christian music record label.
