Brown was a keen football and rugby league player when he was in his teenage years and played for Wokingham. He was involved in a car accident in 2003 which caused him to have life-changing injuries: he couldn't put weight on his ankle and he severed nerves in his left arm.[2] [3]

He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to rowing.
