Timeline
Andrew Michael Baron (born 1970) is the founder of Rocketboom, video aggregator Magma and Humanwire, and the co-founder of Know Your Meme.
Baron has taught undergraduate and graduate classes at Parsons School of Design and was teaching IDTech at M.I.T. when he came up with the idea for Rocketboom.
An active music composer throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Baron scored numerous scores for Austin-area artists, including "Mad About Harry", a film by AMFILMS awarded as a Hollywood Film Festival, 2000 finalist.
In 1999, Baron was the owner of a visual and performing arts gallery, Movements Gallery on 6th Street in Austin, Texas which the Austin Chronicle named 'Best New Multi-Disciplinary Space in Austin' in the 'Best of Austin's Critics Poll'.
He was appointed by the City of Austin Arts Commission to serve as a Mixed Arts Advisory Panelist, 2001.
After releasing Rocketboom in late 2004, Baron established himself as one of the first vloggers and arguably one of the most influential.
With Rocketboom, Baron built one of the first large audiences around a video show, and went on to generate the first large-scale advertising deals.
On August 19, 2005, Baron was interviewed on CBS Evening News.
In an "Eye on America", segment CBS veteran Jim Axelrod commented on the effort at daily news coverage on a limited budget and Baron's early grasp of the next Internet wave.
"You know what they call that? Vision."
Baron directed a portion of "Killer", an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation which aired February 2, 2006.
Steve Jobs featured Baron's Rocketboom on stage when releasing the video iPod and again when releasing the AppleTV.
In March 2006, Baron commented on the sale of a week of advertising for $40,000 on eBay in Brandweek:
"'Advertising with us has extra value because we aren't going to accept advertising from someone whose morals are against us, someone like Hummer,' said Rocketboom producer Andrew Baron. The creators of the show are acting as ad agency as well as media for the ads for TRM and EarthLink. 'We've got to approve the ads and if we like them, chances are our viewers will like 'em.'"
In 2008, Baron created the first version of the Know Your Meme database, to accompany a spin-off show he created and produced for Rocketboom.
Also in 2008, with one of the most followed Twitter accounts, Baron made international news when he put his Twitter account up for sale on eBay.
Andrew Baron made international news again in 2008, when he used his blog to plead with a drug company to help save his father's life.
Baron released his third major site, Magma, in 2009.
In 2011, Baron sold Know Your Meme to Cheezburger in a reported "low seven-figure deal".
Baron's work had been recognized by the Webbys, the Vloggies and Streamys.
In 2017 Baron was arrested on charges that he stole money from his non-profit, Humanwire, to which he pled no contest.
Forensic accounting verified Baron's side of the story and ended the court case.
He pled no contest in order to end the case as quickly as possible.
Baron holds a BA in Philosophy from Bates College and a master of Fine Arts in Design and Technology from Parsons School of Design.
On November 16, 2017, Baron was charged with theft in excess of $100,000 from Humanwire, the nonprofit he established to help Syrian refugees.
"An investigative report by The Denver Post in 2017 found that the charity, which Baron founded in 2015, struggled with delays in promised aid to refugees. The newspaper found that more than 100 refugees who had been promised aid from Humanwire faced evictions and other deprivations, according to interviews with former volunteers, workers and donors."
Baron entered a plea of no contest in October 2018.
"Prosecutors dropped two counts of theft between $100,000 and $1 million as part of the plea deal."
Baron was also given a one-year deferred sentence, charged $26,999.97 in restitution, and made to perform 40 hours of community service.
