Brad graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1982. Following his family's tradition, he served as an officer in the United States Navy. As a surface warfare officer, he deployed to the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
After his Navy service, Brad attended law school in the evening at McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, California. While attending law school, he worked full time for a litigation firm that specialized in the defense of cities, counties, school districts and insurance companies. Upon graduation in 1992, Brad passed both the California and Washington State bar exams. He continued to work in Sacramento until relocating to Snohomish County in 1995.
Brad continued his work in civil litigation in Washington as an attorney with Safeco Insurance Company and, later, with the Civil Division of the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

In his time as a litigation attorney, Brad has resolved hundreds of cases through arbitration or mediation. He has taken fourteen cases to trial in the Superior Courts of Whatcom, Island, Skagit, Snohomish, King and Thurston Counties. He has also briefed and argued cases before the Courts of Appeal on issues of municipal drainage, inverse condemnation, insurance coverage, assumption of risk and employment contracts.
Brad served as a Trustee with the Snohomish County Bar Association. He also works as an arbitrator for the Snohomish County Superior Court. In order to expand his understanding of alternative dispute resolution, he undertook extensive mediation training with the Dispute Resolution Center, Volunteers of America.
Outside of work, Brad serves as a member of the Arlington Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol and the Washington Pilot's Association. He is looking forward to more active participation in the Rotary Club of Arlington in coming years.
