Michael Brown serves on the front lines of Soles4Souls. As the Director of Worldwide Logistics and Distribution, Michael manages the daily movement of tens of thousands of pairs of shoes to various locations in the United States and around the world. He works closely with our own field officers as well as those from partner agencies to ensure the shoes arrive on time and are appropriate for the recipients and the local climate.

"I feel grateful and blessed to be working with a fantastic team and for such a meaningful cause," said Brown. "It is incredibly rewarding to think about how many lives are made better each time a shipment leaves our warehouse, and I am motivated every day by the knowledge of how many more people are still in need."

Prior to his position as Director of Worldwide Logistics and Distribution, Michael served as the Logistics and Compliance Manager of the Alabama warehouse and was responsible for managing the crew, coordinating the transportation of incoming and outgoing shipments, and streamlining the paperwork process for individuals and organizations as they submitted requests for footwear and/or partnerships.

"Michael's valuable experience in the daily operations provides him with the unique skillset required to handle millions of pairs of shoes as they pass through his care," said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. "We are proud to have Michael guiding our team and the process to fulfill our mission and provide millions of people with the gift of shoes," Elsey said.

Michael is a native of Nashville, Tennessee and now resides in Wadley, Alabama with his wife Suzanne.
