John F. Braun

John F. Braun is a software and computer engineer with over 20 years of development experience, and has AS, BS and MS degrees in various computing disciplines, so his friends and colleagues are somewhat surprised that he's a Mac enthusiast. Having worked in an environment comprised largely of PCs, and watching others wrestle with the horror that is Windows, he's glad to come home to a MacBook Pro and Mac mini at the end of the day. John was Dave's co-host on Mac Geek Gab starting with the first episode in 2005 all the way up through his retirement from podcasting in early 2023. These days you may still be able to find him on Twitter.
