Kentucky native Joe Brown has been a life-long student of history. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Kentucky. Before attending law school, Joe used his historical background working as a Park Ranger at Mammoth Cave National Park, where he conducted historical research and educated the public about one of America’s greatest natural and cultural wonders.
In his studies of history, Joe noticed something in the annals of the past that drew him into the practice of law. “From Cicero to Scalia, from Madison to Mueller, lawyers have always been behind the scenes making civilization work and making history happen, influencing culture and changing society,” Joe says. “Law is a very noble profession with a long lineage of great men and women who devoted their lives to advocating truth, justice, and liberty.”
Joe finds working with nonprofits and ministry organizations especially rewarding. “I really enjoy working with clients who are mission-minded and ambitious to bless people,” Joe says, “I’m eager to lend my skills to making their ambitions become a reality.” Joe’s passion for nonprofit and ministry law brought him to Telios Law in fall of 2019. Joe and his wife Laura live in Colorado Springs and have four children. When Joe is not practicing law, he enjoys spending time with his family, reading, teaching, hunting, fishing, and horseback riding.
