Blake Brown is president of Trust Protection, a company he founded in 2020 specializing in personal protective equipment for industrial workers. Previously, he served as president and owner of John Tillman & Co., an industry leader in protective clothing for welders and other industrial trades, until selling the company in 2016.
Blake has been deeply engaged with Webb, serving on the Board of Trustees from 2014 to 2022. During his tenure, he co-chaired both the Development Committee and the Centennial Campaign, helping to advance major institutional priorities. He also rallied classmates in support of Webb as part of the 50th reunion committee in 2018, the year he received Webb’s Alumni Outstanding Achievement Award.
Together with his wife Andrea, a longtime educator, Blake has supported key initiatives that have enhanced campus facilities, expanded student opportunities, and strengthened Webb’s connection to the wider community.
The Browns have also been champions of ensuring access to the Webb experience. Their leadership in supporting financial aid and forging community partnerships has helped open doors for deserving students to benefit from a Webb education.
They live in Rolling Hills, California, and have three adult daughters.
