About the Router-IPNet Team

Nate Morris - Router IPNet Co-Founder

Nate Morris - Router IPNet Co-Founder

When we started Router IPNet, we had one key goal in mind: to shape a process for the development of an open digital database for networking products that offer an enterprise-level of depth of information, innovative methods for working with networking equipment that will help you lift your business from the ground, and a user experience of a whole new world. It seems it has worked pretty well, considering that Nate Morris, our founder, CCNP Enterprise certified, used all his knowledge and experience from working for giants like Microsoft, CISCO, and Apple over the course of the past 15 years, along with all his hopes and dreams, to create Router IPNet. Two years later we are a recognized name in the tech landscape and have a portfolio of some 40 clients that include banks, hotel chains, and even a couple of government agencies.

Brianna Hawkins - Router IPNet Co-Founder

Brianna Hawkins - Router IPNet Co-Founder

The second key team member is co-founder Brianna Hawkins. She met Nate at a lecture she was attending for a SolarWinds Certified Professional certification – she was taking it back to back with the Aruba Certified Mobility Associate, because that’s how we roll in Router IPNet, and they instantly hit it off. Why? Because they both believe in hard work, and that improving the user experience and tailoring a free database that not only does the job, but does it better than any potential alternative, should go hand-in-hand. Brianna has worked in UX design for the past seven years before and jumped into the opportunity for a fresh career start without hesitation. For many of our ground-level employees Router IPNet was a chance to do just the same.

Ben Basic - Chief Editor

Despite joining us on a later phase of the development of the project, we consider Ben another Co-Founder and Editor in Chief. His extensive experience in the web development and Internet network-routing has made him an irreplacable member of our team. Before he took the role at Router IPNet, he was a cybersecurity analyst, performing audits for major high-tier technology corporations such as Oracle, IBM, TELUS International and others.
