Don Brown

Owner

Don entered the Financial Services industry in 1998 after over a decade in retail management. He originally relocated to the Okanagan to open the valley’s first Sport Chek location. Growing up in Vancouver, Don’s father Don Sr. was a Mutual Life of Canada advisor for over forty years.

As the owner of Brown Benefits, Don strives to build trusting, positive relationships with business owners and individuals. He enjoys empowering clients by personalizing benefit plans that help retain valuable employees, while boosting productivity and employee wellness in the workplace. Don’s optimistic attitude and considerate communication style help put clients at ease.

As an exclusive marketing agent of the Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan, Don has been recognized nationally for marketing excellence and high service standards.

Don spent several years as a Director with the Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce, and continues to volunteer on their various comittees. He has volunteered as a soccer coach with both the Kelowna and Westside Youth Soccer Associations, and Brown Benefits has sponsored local clubs on multiple occasions.

A strong advocate for a positive work-life balance, Don is an avid golfer, and also enjoys playing soccer and hockey. He relishes quality time with family, and cannot resist traveling to warmer climates during the Okanagan’s cooler seasons.
