Brad serves as CEO leading mergers and acquisitions, new product development, and partnerships. With a strong belief that everyone in the company must share the vision and help shape the direction of a successful company, he has created an inviting environment for employees, where creativity and ingenuity is encouraged and rewarded. The focus on employees and creating innovative products has led to the creation of Golf Central, a unique niche product for golf reservation centers that dramatically changes the way these businesses operate. W3Effect continues to expand on this product while continuing to develop new products to transform the way business is done online.

Brad has served on the PALS board for the past six years and has chaired the Technology and PR committees since it's inception in 2010. As PR Committee Chair Brad made several contacts with local press and educational bloggers, wrote press releases and articles, and distributed detailed information of various achievements to highlight the schools success. Initial negative press generally associated with charter schools gradually turned primarily positive. Academic success combined with community outreach and positive relationships with the press were all factors in turning public perceptions. As the Technology Committee Chair Brad guides day to day maintenance of networks and systems as well as software acquisition for administrative and educational use. Brad was highly involved with the design and implementation of the schools technology infrastructure when they constructed their new building including firewalls, switches, servers, Active Directory based authentication, terminals, centralized security systems, IP phones, and mobile labs. Today they enjoy a reliable, secure network that encourages teacher collaboration and supports an innovative curriculum. One example is a modified Minecraft game server that will be used to provide an engaging virtual environment for students to learn history and math concepts. This may be my most rewarding endeavor as a professional. Having the opportunity to use business, technical, and communications experience to help a "start up" school blossom into one of the most successful and highly regarded institutions in the state has allowed me to view the impact of technology in an entirely different way. Observing students as they grow and learn, knowing that I played a small part in their future success, fuels a passion to continue my own quest for knowledge.
