Feel free to call me Buffalo Brad. I was born and raised in North Buffalo. I was a three-sport athlete and on senior senate in high school at City Honors. I went to undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. I majored in Communication & Behavior and had a double minor in English and Urban Studies. I also played on the football team, until a series of unfortunate injuries curtailed my career. During my junior year, I studied abroad for a semester at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. This past May, I completed my master's in Higher Education Administration right here at Buffalo State. When I'm not coaching students, I moonlight as a licensed Real Estate salesperson. I love being outdoors and active. I have a dog named Stitch and a cat named Bender.
