Brad is fundamentally about uplifting people. And about technology. And about blockchain and cryptocurrency. And about gaming. And if Brad is about something, he’ll know a whole lot about it, and fairly quickly. And as many of us do, Brad spent some time reflecting on how he could utilize his passions and knowledge to really start giving back. As he considered how to do that, Brad went “meta”. Brad realized that by helping and motivating others to give more of their time and money to organizations that help others, he could give back far more than he ever could, contributing on his own. Thus, the seed of the idea that is VolunCharity was born. Professionally, Brad has been working in the IT and project management realms for over a decade, with a specialized focus on enhancing operating processes in both government and private institutions. He has consulted with numerous government contractors through all U.S. military services. Most recently, Brad helped drive a government contract with over $100 million in total billings. Brad is a USMC veteran and has an MS degree in IT Project Management. Brad lives in San Antonio, Texas, where VolunCharity is headquartered.
