Hugh Brown has been involved in the pro-life movement for most of his life. As the eldest son of Paul and Judie Brown—the cofounder and president of American Life League—Hugh is a sought-after speaker on all pro-life topics and Catholic spirituality affecting men, fathers, and families, as well as on issues of Catholic education that impact teachers, parents, and students.
Hugh enjoyed a successful 25-year career as a corporate executive and managed one of the nation’s most well-known direct mail marketing firms. His real-world experience allows him to speak intelligently and eloquently on the practical and spiritual means of handling the daily stresses that jobs and the secular world can have on family life and fatherhood.
Hugh consistently writes for American Life League on the most important and timely pro-life topics, and he appears regularly on Trending with Timmerie, a popular show broadcast on the national Relevant Radio network.
Hugh and his wife Ann have five children. In 2004, motivated by his desire to ensure that his children and other students could receive a quality Catholic high school education within his community, when none then existed, Hugh worked to plan and open St. Michael the Archangel Catholic High School in Fredericksburg, Virginia. This co-ed high school integrates pro-life values and teachings throughout its entire four-year curriculum, and it is certified by its diocese. Hugh also serves as St. Michael’s head football coach, integrating sports with faith and morals.
