Bio
Derek Piper
I worked with Brad for 4 years and would acknowledge that he is a well-rounded technologist that connects well with faculty, parents and students. He is creative with his approach to solving problems and has the ability to break down complex, technical procedures so that even the most novice users can be successful. He is a ‘learner’ himself and is continuously exploring the possibilities of incorporating new technology or reworking a lesson to enhance engagement.
Erik Smith
Brad is a friendly, productive, fast-paced problem solver who loves to learn while never hesitating to teach. His ability to adapt to ever-changing demands is second to none. Brad leads by example and is usually one step ahead of everyone in the room, yet he always remains humble, humorous and helpful. He is a fantastic teammate and even better person!
