About Me
or
Am I That Brad That You Knew Way Back When?
I attended Thompson Junior High School in Weatherford, Oklahoma from 1979-81. I was your basic dorky junior high social misfit and band geek.
I attended Weatherford High School (once again, in Weatherford, Oklahoma) from 1981-1984. I began my high school career (once again) as your basic social misfit band geek type, but by 1984 I was Head Band Geek, by nature of being Drum Major (or Field Commander, as I liked to call it). During this time period I started listening to a lot of Devo - a habit I have yet to break.
I moved to California during the summer of 1984 and attended Valencia High School in Placentia, CA from 1984-85. I was not able to climb to the top of the Band Geek ziggurat at VHS in my short time there, but I gave it my best shot.
I attended the University of California at Irvine from 1985-89, graduating with the degree of Bachelor of Science with a Major in Engineering, according to my diploma. (To be more specific, I majored in electrical engineering.)
After stints as a transformer designer (sadly, power transformers, not the robot toys), a theater/ride and show systems engineer, and a broadcast engineering consultant, I am now employed as a television systems engineer for a major cable broadcaster.
I live in the greater Los Angeles area, and have been married since 1994. My wife and I have two children - fraternal boy-girl twins - that were born in 1999.
My hobbies - not that I have a lot of time for them these days - include homebrewing and flyfishing.
Am I being unnecessarily vague? I can never tell.
