During his tenure at the FBI, Brown served in multiple roles, including unit chief in the Counterterrorism Division in Washington, D.C., the coordinator of the Violent Crimes Task Force in Michigan, and leader of interagency teams conducting critical threat missions overseas during the global war on terrorism.
Brown received several commendations and two U.S. Attorney awards for leading criminal investigations while at the FBI.
Before joining the bureau, Brown served as a sheriff’s deputy, police officer and detective in Michigan and Arizona.
