As education background, Brad was valedictorian in high school, earned a degree in Economics from Claremont McKenna College, and graduated second in his class from the University of Florida College of Law.  

Brad set multiple records for Internet product launches. For example, his company StomperNet generated $18 million in sales and over $3 million of collected revenue on its very first day. The Net Effect, StomperNet’s monthly magazine, registered 18,000 subscribers at $50/month in its first two weeks -- from 255 countries. He also launched the Arbitrage Conspiracy, a search engine marketing course that sold $7 million in its first two weeks.


Most recently, Brad has joined forces with C. Christie Craig and Local Umbrella Media — a San Diego based publishing house and marketing agency — with the goal of creating a leading integrated digital marketing agency.
