Who we are

Jeffrey Young

Dr. Young has served the publishing and electronic media industry for over 20 years. He began his career with Frank Wills of Mnemosyne Publishing in Miami, working to create facsimile copies of important academic manuscripts no longer in print. In 1997, while doing graduate work, he founded Dissertation.com to help make academic thesis and dissertations more accessible to students and researchers. Since then, two nonfiction publishing imprints have been added, Universal Publishers, and BrownWalker Press. He has a Ph.D. in Comparative Studies from Florida Atlantic University, in addition to a master's degree in Communication, bachelor's degree in Business Administration, and an associate's degree in Electronic Technology.
