Brad grew up in southern Indiana where he had free rein to fish, hunt, and explore the creeks and forests around his home. His interest in the natural world led him to major in Environmental Science at Indiana University, where he graduated in 2004. His early career was spent gaining experience working seasonal jobs for various agencies and NGO’s including the Nature Conservancy, US Geological Survey, and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. This winding path eventually led him to realize his passion for ecological restoration, native plant establishment, and land conservation.
He has spent the last 15 years working for a private ecological restoration firm, as stewardship manager at NICHES Land Trust in Northern Indiana, and as assistant superintendent of grounds at Glenstone Museum in Potomac, MD. Brad moved to Maine in early 2020 and most recently served as Lands Manager for Boothbay Region Land Trust.
In his free time Brad enjoys fishing, backpacking, paddling, gardening, live music, and watching IU Basketball. He lives in Bristol with his wife Cindy.
