He played and excelled in Little League football and baseball, where his dad often was his coach and mentor. Brad loved sports.

During his teenage years, he worked for his father at Ada Sand & Gravel doing everything from shoveling sand from underneath conveyor belts to equipment operation to eventually becoming the General Manager.
