Reviews
Daniel Loyd
Senior Producer, Studio Gannett"Part artist, part caretaker, part politician. Brad understands the power of relationships on the screen and in real life."
Yuk-fai Fong
Associate Dean, University of Hong Kong Business School"I have taught over 2,000 MBA students, spending 8 years at Kellogg School of Management, 9 years at HKUST Business School, and a bit more than one year at HKU Business School. Brad is among the best MBA students I have ever taught. That is why I highly recommend him."
Ryan McDonald
Research Content Writer (Artech Consulting) at Microsoft"Nimble and efficient, thorough and thoughtful, patient and proactive, Brad's editorial and leadership skills are boundless. His guidance was always thought out, as he uncovered stories and made decisions that helped us solve many problem areas."
Bobbi Conway
Supervising Producer for Reality Television & Post Production"Brad was my favorite editor during my time at G4. He took direction well, had innovative ideas, and problem solved not only technical, but creative issues. We worked freelance, and every time I got a new show; I requested to have Brad on the team. Working with him was always fun, professional and productive. When we had a show with a team of editors, Brad would take the lead editor position. He would help to communicate ideas which helped the show to come together quickly and efficiently."
