Growing up in a small, rural, mid-western town, in Litchfield, Illinois (only 7,200 people) definitely left an impression on Brad. It helped to instill in him manners, respect, humbleness and the value of hard work. Brad excelled in basketball and baseball from early on throughout high school, however was especially gifted at golf, where he competed on a state and national level. President of the National Honor Society, member of the Student Council and even being voted "Best Looking" weren't enough to keep Brad from searching for bigger and better things, outside of his sometimes sheltered small town.

After graduating from the University of Illinois, with honors and a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and degree equivalencies in Finance and Spanish, Brad headed north for the big city, Chicago. This is where he began a career as an auditor (CPA) at Price Waterhouse, which after 2 years, led him to St. Louis, Missouri and then after another 2 years, to Phoenix, Arizona and then finally to Los Angeles, California. It was a great learning experience, however after practically all of the joy of life was sucked out of him, he decided to throw all of his deeply rooted, responsible and conservative values out the window and discovered in Acting & Modeling (and himself), something that he couldn't find anywhere else in his travels...TRUTH!!!

In just his first year of acting & modeling, Brad booked leads in over 20 independent films & many print ads
A quote from Brad's bible, On The Road, by Jack Kerouac, sums up his attitude about life:

"...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky..."

Brad's small-town values and work ethic, coupled with his desire and drive for perfection in everything he does, is sure to guarantee continued success in Hollywood and beyond!
