Dennis, who grew up the youngest of five children in a three room "shot-gun" house in Central Louisiana, credits his parents and his belief in God as the most influential factors in his own life's success. As an honors graduate from Southern University, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with a degree in accounting, he combines his business training and experience as an accountant and businessman to ensure that his seminars and speeches increase the bottom-line performance for his clients.

Dennis S. Brown, President of Destiny Investments, firmly believes that "Your Attitude is Showing!" and it is also the topic of one of his most powerful talks as a major force on the national public speaking circuit. His best selling motivational tape and attitude T-shirts have received praise from former President Bill Clinton, motivational speaker Les Brown and the Houston based homeless group S.E.A.R.C.H., just to name a few. Dennis believes "The only difference between A GOOD DAY & A BAD DAY is your ATTITUDE" He explains that positive attitude differs from positive speaking by simply one word-ACTION! In fact, he says that "attitude is feeling, belief, and passion,, and if we stir up those ingredients in the bowl of life--oh how sweet our days will be!"
