Additionally, he assisted in providing NCAA and ACC rules interpretations to ACC institutions.

Before moving into the ACC office, Brown spent three years (2007-10) as the Assistant Director of Compliance and Championships for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). In that role, he served as the primary sport administrator for football, men's basketball, bowling and tennis, in addition to his duties as the MEAC's primary compliance administrator. Brown also oversaw the enforcement of the league's sportsmanship policy and was a liaison to the conference-wide Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

He began his administrative career as the Assistant Athletics Director for Compliance & Student-Athlete Development at the University of New Haven from 2005-07.

The Greensboro, North Carolina native earned his bachelor's degree in Sports Management from Winston-Salem State University, where he also played football, and completed his Master's in Sports Administration from the University of New Haven.
