My Journey to Sherman College

Some people say I’m pretty awesome… and I’d have to agree. My name is Greg Brown, and I’m a first-quarter student at the greatest school ever—Sherman College of Chiropractic.

From California to Colorado

I was born in a faraway land… some might even say it’s almost another planet: Southern California. I’m the oldest of three children. My dad was a truck driver turned inventory manager turned truck driver again, and my mom worked for tech companies—including Apple—before going back to school to become a nurse.

When I was 11, my dad’s job transferred us to Southern Colorado. That’s where I “grew up,” attending elementary, middle, and high school, plus a class at the local junior college. At 19, after my dad’s warehouse closed, we moved again—this time closer to my grandparents in South Carolina.

I’ve lived in South Carolina since 1995, and yes, I’m now 35. I have a beautiful wife, Jennifer, a baby boy, Ethan, and a 10-year-old daughter, Angel.

Finding My Path to Healthcare

I’ve always wanted to help people, but it took me a while to figure out how. When I was younger, I dreamed of being a doctor… then a pediatrician… then a veterinarian. Somehow, life pulled me away from healthcare and toward a career in radio. I loved it, but I wasn’t sure it was my calling.

Eventually, I moved into sales, working in the cell phone business for about 12 years. During that time, a conversation with a customer named George planted a seed. He invited me to visit his healthcare office, introduced me to Dr. Auger, and shared the impact of helping people as a chiropractor. I was intrigued… but hesitant. Too much school, I thought.

Inspiration from Chiropractors

Over the years, I met several Sherman graduates and chiropractors who inspired me: Dr. Joe Boggs, Dr. Princess Porter, Dr. Matthew Christopher, and Dr. Brandon Tester. Their guidance helped me realize that becoming a chiropractor was not as impossible as I once thought.

If you’re considering a career change or a chance to help people through healthcare, I can’t recommend Sherman College enough. It’s never too late to follow your dream. Apply here or contact the school for more information.
