Jay Brown

Jay Brown is a private chef and food stylist for QVC who loves using food as a way to bring people together. His connection to Herren Project grew through his experience as a member of Herren Project’s 2026 Boston Marathon team. As someone in recovery himself, being part of the team gave Jay the opportunity to combine his love of running with a mission that is deeply personal to him.

For Jay, serving as a Herren Project Ambassador is an opportunity to use his voice and lived experience to help others see that hope is always possible. He believes recovery is strengthened through connection and the people who walk alongside us, and he looks forward to continuing to learn, share his story, and help support individuals and families impacted by substance use and addiction.

Outside of this work, Jay’s greatest joy is his son, Dominick, whom he calls his “why.” He loves watching Dominick’s sporting events, taking long runs with his brother, sharing good meals with friends and family, and appreciating the simple things in life.
