Bio
Melissa Gibson, AIA, CCS, CCCA, CDT, SCIP, NCARB, LEED AP, WELL AP
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Brad in two different roles within the AEC industry. First, as a manufacturer’s rep, Brad is a trusted advisor who is superbly responsive and helpful in addressing my questions, design challenges, and curiosities. Secondly, as a colleague on the CSI Chicago board of directors, I have witnessed Brad’s consistent, passionate efforts to improve the chapter’s communications strategy and overall impact. No matter the challenge, Brad is quick to assess, identify, and implement a path towards a successful solution. As a team member, problem solver, or leader, Brad has earned my admiration and highest recommendation.
Beth Winkler, CSI
Brad has been an enormous asset to the CSI Chicago Chapter over the past three years through his volunteer efforts. He stepped in to help the chapter with its communications and never looked back. He has worked diligently on bettering the chapter's communications efforts, organizing and streamlining chapter operations, and worked to improve the chapter’s strategic plan. Brad is someone I can count on to when help is needed and doesn’t shy away when a challenge is put in front of him.
