He oversees the firm’s technology platforms and data assets, driving secure integration, efficient use, and alignment with enterprise goals.

In this role, he helps maximize the value of technology investments by driving full platform utilization, simplifying the experience for attorneys and business professionals, and enabling more seamless, connected ways of working that enhance both internal effectiveness and client service delivery. He views emerging technologies as key enablers of efficiency and insight, particularly through the automation of routine work and improved data-driven decision-making.

Outside the Office

Brad is deeply family-oriented. He is married to his high school sweetheart, and together they have four children—two sons and two daughters—spanning teen to young adult years. A hands-on father, he is actively involved in his children’s lives, from attending baseball and soccer games to helping his youngest son run his 3D printing business. Brad also enjoys reading—particularly leadership and technology-focused books—along with movies and travel. Whether exploring new countries or spending a quiet evening at home with games, conversation, or a shared show, he values making everyday moments meaningful with the people closest to him.

Community Leadership

Brad serves on the board of the Daughters of Charity as a technology adviser, supporting the organization’s mission to meet basic human needs in underserved communities. He also actively participates in neighborhood beautification efforts, helping residents maintain and improve their properties through activities such as lawn care, weeding, trash removal, minor repairs, and planting, because they are either unable to complete the work themselves or may lack the resources to hire assistance. In addition, he supports animal welfare initiatives through the local humane society, assisting with rescue efforts and helping place pets into loving homes.
