TESTIMONIALS

What people say about working with Brad

I have had the privilege to work with Brad professionally in two different roles at two institutions, the University of West Florida and George Mason University. In both roles, Brad served as my supervisor. Brad is a professional who truly cares about the staff and students that he works with. He takes the time to get to know his staff individually and uses staffs strengths and talents to enhance both the team and the department. Brad also wants to see his staff grow and develop so he is constantly providing professional development opportunities along with challenging staff to try things outside of their normal responsibilities. I know that Brad is someone that I can always turn to whenever I have questions about the field. He has helped me grow as a Student Affairs Professional and I know he has done this for many other staff and students as well.

LinkedIn Recommendation
Brad was an excellent supervisor. He took advantage of every opportunity to help his staff learn from their experience by helping us develop problem-solving skills we could apply to any future opportunity. Brad was patient with team members with less experience, and encouraged us to help one another grow as a team.
