Our Owners

Tyrone Brown is an entrepreneur and successful business owner of Information Systems Consultant’s Inc. (ISCI) for over 20 years. He is the husband of Deborah Brown and together they have six children and five grandchildren. A power couple, the Browns are owners of several businesses:  Second Chance Staffing LLC, Deka Lash Plainfield Commons, and Kingdom Entrepreneurs to name a few. They also support others in the formation of various different business ventures and ministry ideas.

Mr. Brown is a native of Chicago, IL where his love for basketball first began. For many years Mr. Brown played in several basketball tournaments in and around the Chicago area, and later began successfully running and operating his own basketball tournaments. So, when the opportunity was presented it seemed only logical that the Browns would jump at the opportunity to be owners of their own ABA basketball team. Given the opportunity to give families an opportunity to come together and be involved in a community activity that everyone can enjoy is very exciting to the Browns.

\“It is our hope that with the Indiana Lyons we can assist with the community’s efforts to bring youth in off the streets to a safe, fun, and affordable environment that the entire family can once again enjoy by building a fan base that makes our families feel like they too have ownership in the team,” say the Browns.
