Brad grew up in Northern Kentucky. He got an early start in magic as a child, when he found a box of magic apparatus in his grandmother’s attic. His first show was for his own third grade class. Soon he was performing for parties, churches, and other events. Brad kept performing through high school. He eventually became the president of the Cincinnati Counts of Conjuring, a local teen magic club.

Brad's involvement in performing continued into his college years. While he was earning his B.S. in computer science, he was also heavily involved in the Georgetown College Baptist Student Union's creative performing arts groups. He served as the director of the teams for two years.

After college, Brad continued his solo performances while working full-time as a systems analyst. Eventually, Brad left his job in the corporate world to pursue magic full time. Now he brings laughter and amazement to audiences across the country. He has also taken his programs on tour in Southeast Asia six times.
