Brad is Pathfynder's tech geek and delivery dude.

​Before Pathfynder, Brad worked as a SecDevOps strategist and threat hunter for his boutique consulting firm, BruteForce. Prior to life as a civilian, Brad spent 10 years in the Marine Corps as a Combat Engineer, with visits to sandy places but no oceans, and then continued as a Data Systems Specialist. Brad earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of St. Thomas and holds a Master of Science in Computer Science from the Naval Postgraduate School and has certifications with numerous acronyms from various accreditation bodies.

When Brad isn't cooking things in the lab for Pathfynder, he is spending time free-ranging his kids in the Montana playgrounds. He can be found frequenting local skate parks, climbing uphill to find back-country powder stashes, visiting distant beach breaks, and coaxing his kids to follow him on epic adventures.
