Bio
Howard Leyda
I had the pleasure of working with Brad while I was at Iomega. As the Senior Marketing Manager, Brad developed the strategic program to seed pre-press locations across North America in order to make Zip and Jaz drives and media relevant to the creative services industry. This strategic program was instrumental to Iomega’s success and rapid growth from $100 million dollar business to a $1.2 billion business within one year. By seeding the pre-press locations across North America, Brad eliminated any barriers for the creative services companies to adopt Zip and Jaz removable media drives and replace its SyQuest removable media drives. The pre-press program was one of the nails in the coffin that put SyQuest out of business. It was a pleasure to work with Brad and I hope to work with him again someday.
Tamra Pierce, MS-TIM, MBA
I highly recommend Brad Billings, he is a results-driven problem solver who has strong leadership skills. I attended graduate school with Brad and worked with him on several projects. Brad enjoys building products/services from conception all the way to the customer. He is innovative and quality oriented. Any organization or product developer would be fortunate to have Brad on their team, he brings with him motivation, sincerity, and extensive lifetime experience in creativity.

It’s said that three things are required for a successful real estate transaction: location, condition, and price. While true, this overlooks the most critical component; the agent representing you. You need an agent who is professional, knowledgeable, focused, hardworking, trustworthy, and provides personal service with value and integrity. I am that agent, and I’m ready to go to work for you.
