Bio
Jeff Wiedemann
Brad is a most trusted advisor when I have question related to security. He is recognized as a very reliable authority. When a project's security comes into question, all I have to say is: "I checked with Brad" and leadership understands that we are not introducing a vulnerability. Brad's dedication and leadership in ensuring our systems are secure through design, implementation and operation provide the security conscience for not only his group, but several other teams as well.
Richard Cornachione
I had the opportunity of working with Brad on a Information Systems project while we were both graduate students at Northwestern University. Brad offered a vast array of knowledge including Java programming, Database Administration, Front End development, case studies and overall contributions to the group. Brad is a very diverse worker and demonstrated leadership qualities through out the entire course that inspired us all. He is a great asset to any employer.
