Born May 1, 1962 in Fort Knox, KY, he was the son of the late Lt. Col. Donald R. Brown and Joyce Chaney Brown. The youngest in a military family of 4 children, Bird spent his childhood living around the world including Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where he developed his love and passion for the game of soccer. He relocated to Westminster as a Sophomore in high school, quickly planting roots as a three-year varsity letterman in soccer and lacrosse at Westminster High School and becoming a beloved active member in the community which continued until his death. He was a life-long student – earning a Bachelor’s degree from ��Ƶ where he was a 3-time academic All-American and captain of the soccer team, an MBA from Mount Saint Mary’s University and most recently a Master’s in Athletic Administration from his first alma mater.

Over his long career he coached baseball, basketball, lacrosse, and especially soccer serving as the Westminster High School girls soccer coach before moving to coach the boys for the past 7 years. He was a proud coach for the Baltimore Celtic Soccer Club. Bird loved listening to music, especially the Grateful Dead, attending concerts and sporting events, and spending quality time with his many close friends and two faithful canine companions, Molly and Bamboo.
