There's a good long bio of him at the Earth Policy Institute, of which he is the president.

[edit] Lester R Brown and ZPG

You can't truthfully describe Lester R. Brown without adding "long associated with Zero Population Growth and what is now called 'sustainable development'." Your own cited biography describes him as deeply involved in “...thinking about problems of world population and resources.” Yet my neighbor recently left a newspaper article on my porch that cited Jared Diamond and Lester R. Brown. He did this as a REFUTATION of my over-population concerns.

Obviously some clarification is called for with regard to the general reading public.
