There simply is not an adequate word that can describe Brad. He is experience and skilled, but his drive is what truly sets him apart. He is the embodiment of the infamous job description phrase, “Other duties as assigned.” Right out of college his career started in international business where he oversaw all the marketing, strategy, and sales for his company’s retail products. He taught himself to code on the long flights to and from China and found he had a natural gift for analytics. Ever since he’s been bringing advanced analytics and data science solutions to his company through machine learning, prescriptive and predictive analytics, and business intelligence.
