He served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Netherlands and Belgium and graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a master's degree in Accountancy.[1] After college Brown worked as a business consultant and instructor in Livermore, California and Westerville, Ohio.[1] He current lives in Laketown, Utah, a ranching environment that inspired one of the core ideas in his debut novel.[2] CareerBrown explored writing as a student at BYU, studying with Darrell Spencer, Leslie Norris, Bruce Jorgensen, and Peter Macuck. After attending a transformational writing workshop offered by Dave Wolverton, he began to submit his stories for publication. In 1996 he won a quarterly first prize in the annual Writers of the Future contest and published his first piece of fiction.
