PNN.com: A History

PNN.com opened to the public in early 2007, as the long awaited brainchild of Lauren Elliott, creator of the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? game series. In years prior, Lauren had gone through the painstaking process of publishing a book, which focused on his well known mother, (niece to Eleanor Roosevelt). Publishing a book was no easy task and while Lauren was committed to telling his mother's story, he did not want to spend years of his own life on what could be made simple. It was then that Lauren realized there must be other people who want to share, but are hindered by the publishing process, financial boundaries or time constraints. This revelation led Lauren to seek out new technologies and liberate publishing, both across the street and across the globe. With his dream now realized, PNN.Com empowers people to advance the ways in which they communicate, bridging traditional cultural, economic and social boundaries and bringing people together on a level that was impossible in the not so distant past.

PNN.com's offices and recording studio are located in the scenic valley of Rohnert Park, California. Additional information about PNN is available here.
