Born July 13, 1963 in Ft. Riley, KS, his family moved to Kansas City a few months later when his father was stationed there as a recruiter for the United States Army. He was raised in the Parade Park neighborhood in the historic 18th and Vine neighborhood until moving to the Sheraton Estates neighborhood in 1972. Brown is also known as one of the "Kansas City Eight." These were eight boys rescued by MLB All-Star Centerfielder Amos Otis during the September 12, 1977 flood of Kansas City.
