About Brad

I’m married to the most outstanding woman in the whole world. Together, Lisa and I have two delightful girls – Chloe (6) and Emily (4). We make our home here in Indianapolis. I love my family more than anything but I still struggle to keep my passions and priorities in order.

I’m passionate about the Church, its influence on culture, and making it better. I’m constantly challenging the process – examining what I do, why I do it and its relevance in today’s progressive culture.

I affirm and embrace beauty wherever I find it. I love listening to a new indie artist, watching a beautifully-filmed movie, or engaging in a compelling discussion about current social issues.

I’m a self-professed geek. I spend way too much time working on my computer, listening to my iPod, or programming web pages. I could spend hours in Best Buy. I’m a big science fiction fan and love superheroes (I’ve always thought I would make a great Spiderman).

I’m a work in progress. The longer I live the more I realize how much I have to learn.

Above all I’m a passionate follower of Jesus and I strive to make him known in everything I do.

Favorite Superbowl Commercial

Like most people, I was watching the Superbowl as much for the creative commercials as I was for the game. I was a little disappointed this year. Nothing really stood out as amazing or unique like in years past. Sure, Doritos had a couple of funny spots and The Old Spice Guy made an appearance…
