Born in a small town in South Carolina, this author has surpassed the expectations of all the individuals around him. First achieving military service at the age of seventeen, he showed a willingness to sacrifice the time and energy necessary to fulfill a singular purpose. This mindset continued into the early educational years, receiving an undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Eventually, Brown would begin his push to the higher levels of education and receive a graduate degree in History from Liberty University, followed by a graduate certificate in Biblical Studies from the same institution.
