He undertook the mission with the help of friends Aimee McGranahan and Matt Lowers.
He is a hands-on custom builder, involved in local land development and co-owner of the Adams Mill building, most known as the location of Purcellville’s premier dining venue, Magnolia’s at the Mill.

Brownell, whose father began developing the now-148-home Village Case neighborhood more than 20 years ago, founded HeroHomes in 2016. The nonprofit dedicated its first home for a wounded veteran in the Village Case neighborhood in April 2017. The second home dedication came in December 2017, when the nonprofit presented former Army Staff Sergeant Jarrad Davenport with a house in Round Hill. The third home dedication came in 2019 in the form of a Hillsboro-area house for former Army veteran William Slease and his family.
