Dashay Brown Sr. was born and raised in North Philadelphia, PA and graduated seventh in his class from Simon Gratz High School. Mr. Brown knew in high school that he was going to be an accountant, which led him to receiving his Bachelor of Science in Accounting from West Chester University of Pennsylvania while graduating with Cum Laude honors. During his tenure at West Chester University, Mr. Brown along with a friend and classmate named Clarissa Jackson, revitalized an African-American accountant club called the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA), that had been dormant on campus for many years.
