Brown won the gold medal at the U.S. Junior Figure Skating Championships in 1954. As a senior, he came in fourth place two times and won the silver medal four times at U.S. Figure Skating Championships between 1957 and 1960. At the World Figure Skating Championships, he won silver medals in 1957 and 1958, and came in third place in 1959. He also competed at the 1960 Winter Olympics and came in fifth place.<ref name="hines-44">{{Cite book |last=Hines |first=James R. |url=https://archive.org/details/historicaldictio0000hine/mode/1up?view=theater |title=Historical Dictionary of Figure Skating |date=2011 |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=978-0-8108-6859-5 |location=Lanham, Maryland |page=44}}</ref> In 1961, he earned another berth to the World Championships but did not make the trip due to illness, a move that was fortunate for him, as the entire U.S. Figure Skating team was killed en route to the competition when Sabena Flight 548 crashed near Brussels.

Brown also competed in ice dance, winning the bronze at the 1958 U.S. Nationals with partner Susan Sebo.<ref name="hines-44" /> He died of AIDS in 1989.<ref>[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1347&dat=19921214&id=fuoSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=V_wDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6806,4483739 AIDS has killed 40 skaters, Lakeland Ledger, Dec 14, 1992]</ref>
