Florian “Flo” Brown was born in Northern Germany in 1975. He graduated High School from Parkway South High School in the suburbs of St. Louis. Brown joined the United States Army and trained as a Combat Medic, field hospital nurse, and small weapons armorer. In 1996, after transitioning to the US Army Reserves, thanks to the guidance of his father who was an established Senior Audio mixer, Brown started in remote broadcast TV as a utility locally in St. Louis. The XXVI Olympiad in Atlanta was the first time someone paid to travel him to an event.
Since then, Brown has worked almost every sport that is broadcasted, as the Senior Audio Engineer, also known as the A1. As a freelancer he has been employed by many different networks that include broadcasts of the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, IRL, Nascar, PGA, NCAA, X Games, Tennis, UFC, Boxing, Bowling, Volleyball, Olympics and almost every remote Studio show you could imagine, the NFL Draft, NFL Combine, NBA Draft, WNBA Draft, College Gameday and Sport Center. Brown has been fortunate to win 7 Emmy Awards for his work on Espn 3D, X games, US Open Tennis, Olympics and the Super Bowl pre game show.
On top of all of that, this is Brown’s 12th year as the Audio Advisor and mixer for ESPN’s Tennis coverage which includes Wimbledon and the Australian and New York Opens. Brown lives in Tarpon Springs Florida with his lovely wife, Cortney and their twin sons who are majoring in IT at UCF in central Florida.
