Dr. Brown knew that he wanted to become a veterinarian at age 5. He was fortunate to be able to work with his father, a veterinarian, and became passionate about helping animals.

Dr. Brown is the founder of NOVA Cat Clinic, and he received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1986 from the University of Illinois. Initially, Dr. Brown worked at several mixed practices, and an equine practice before finding his true passion was in the care and treatment of feline patients. Prior to opening NOVA Cat Clinic, he co-founded the Capital Cat Clinic.

He was on the task force for the establishment of the Cat-Friendly Practices. The goal is for our feline friends to have the same level of veterinary care as their canine counterparts. Dr. Brown has committed himself to seeing this become a reality.

He actively supports local, state, and national feline organizations. Dr. Brown is a former President of the American Association of Feline Practitioners. He was one of the authors of Feline Life Stage Guidelines (2010). Dr. Brown is a former AAFP delegate to the AVMA House of Delegates.

Dr. Brown and his partner live locally with their cat, Bart. Dr. Brown enjoys traveling, reading, and running in his free time. He has completed numerous marathons and triathlons over the past couple of years.
