Brown's recent company was inspired and formed by his army career and was built to support Veterans and military personnel to gain the opportunity to become self-sufficient outside of the military. Southern CC, Inc is a 501c3 tax deductible organization. The idea behind SCCI was birthed when Brown received an injury during a tour in Afghanistan in 2015. That injury resulted in Brown having a parti
al amputation of his right thumb. On the journey of rebuilding his health he suffered from depression and felt as if he had left his family, unit and friends down which he later learned was a common emotion felt by many in the result of injuries in the army. Brown began visiting The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and was given the honor to speak to Veterans and learn more about the difficult challenges people faced in the transition coming out of the military. Inspired by countless stories and wanting to give back to the people who had given up everything for the common cause of protecting their country, Brown joined with several junior enlisted soldiers to create SCCI; A company that will provide Veterans and transitioning military personnel housing, jobs, education and many opportunities to become self-reliant. In regards to what SCCI needs to thrive and become successful, Brown is encouraging UNITY. Participation from the community, police department, military personnel, and city council to all work together.
