Bio
Randy Clarke
Brad is one of the most dedicated, hard working and innovative people I have had the opportunity to work with. Brad continually demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of physical and technology based solutions. While officially Brad's supervisor, I consider him more of a partner in managing a vast corporate security program. We could not be a successful Security Department without Brad's positive attitude, creativity and leadership.
Rick Withers
Brad manages to combine a wealth of knowledge of both physical security systems, and information security, with a high level of creativity, and demonstrated entrepreneurial acumen. I've found him to be refreshingly honest, pragmatic, extremely bright, and well-informed. His ability to relate security issues in a common sense, practical manner resonates with senior leaders and the average employee. Brad is also one of the nicest and hardest working people I know. Brad is a highly esteemed and respected colleague in whom I trust and with whom I would happily work any time.
