Brad's musical journey commenced at the remarkably young age of 6, and his initial drumming mentor was none other than his fellow band member, Ross Jackson. 

In Brad's own words, he reminisces, "I began my musical odyssey in 1976, when I was just six years old. Ross took me under his wing at Brook Mays upper-deck, and I distinctly remember the first song he taught me was Steely Dan's 'Ricky Don't Lose My Number.'" 

Brad's musical path led him to be part of "Under The Power Lines" from 1998 to 2000, followed by "Not Really Band" from 2000 to 2004. However, it was his significant journey with "The Rafters" that truly defined his musical career, spanning from 2004 to 2021. During this time, Brad and the band accomplished the remarkable feat of recording and producing four CDs, solidifying their presence in the music scene.
