Ministry Experience

Brad has been involved with the church since childhood. His involvement with youth ministries and InterVarsity college ministry during formative years of his life led to his passion for serving the world. His adult experience in small groups as well as serving on the missions team and as elder for his local church refined that passion into a calling. Directly influencing the leap he and his wife made from the corporate design world into designing a world of hope for the nations.  Through the years God has remained faithful in equipping and preparing Brad for each of the next steps He has planned for him. 

Family

Brad & Kendra were college sweethearts, getting married shortly after graduation in 2003. They both love to travel, being outdoors, spending time with family, and playing games; but most importantly serving others with their engineering skills. God has blessed their marriage in countless ways over the years and they look forward to every new adventure He has for them!
