Getting to Know Brad

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I enjoy spending time outdoors—whether golfing, fishing, or simply being in nature. Whenever possible, my wife and I spend time with our adult children and in their absence, our adopted Labrador retriever, Henry, gets our undivided attention.

What’s one item on your bucket list?

Visiting Ireland and Scotland for golf is at the top of the list.

What’s one interesting fact about you that most people don’t know?

In college, I worked as a greenskeeper on a golf course, which sparked a lifelong passion for caring for grass, plants and trees.

Favorite part of being an investment manager?

Working with clients to help them achieve their goals is the most rewarding part of what I do. While I enjoy researching and building forward-looking portfolios, nothing compares to the relationships I’ve built with clients over the years.
