Brad's interest in stringed instruments started at the age of nine when his father began to teach him how to play the Ukulele. By age eleven Brad started playing the banjo and joined the Northwest banjo band, a group of banjo players that played at local events in and around his home town, Corvallis Oregon.

Brad began playing guitar while working at Disneyland and enjoys the unique variety both instruments offer to a Dixieland jazz band. After leaving Disneyland Brad co-founded a banjo group consisting of three banjo's and bass called Banjomania.   Mainly a touring group, Banjomania performed concerts in nearly every state in the union with television guest appearances on TNN including the Ralph Emery show, Crook and Chase, The Statler Brothers Show and The Grand Ole Opry.   After leaving Banjomania Brad joined the Night Blooming Jazzmen, a seven piece tradition jazz band in southern California and enjoys a more family oriented life with his wife Linda and their daughters Noelle and Sophie.
