Early life

Brown grew up in Corsicana, Texas, in a three-bedroom house along with "roughly 15 relatives."

National team career

He became a Japanese citizen after extensive language testing and a waiting period which took two years. As of 2018, he resides in Okinawa.

He was a member of Japan's national basketball team at the 2016 FIBA Asia Challenge in Tehran, Iran, where he recorded the most rebounds, steals and blocks for his team.
