Brad has spent his entire life in the Grand Rapids area, graduating from both Forest Hills Central High School and Aquinas College. He joined Thornwood as a Kennel Technician in the summer of 2022. Brad’s passion for working with and caring for animals was heavily shaped by earlier experiences with family dogs. He grew up with German Shorthaired Pointers and now has a GSP of his own named Josie, who regularly accompanies him to work. In his spare time, Brad enjoys writing, drawing, baseball, watching movies, and being outdoors. He also loves spending time with family, friends, and, of course, Josie!
