Education:
- Bemidji State University: B.S. in Computer Information System (CIS), Minors in Business and Applied Mathematics

Outstanding Career Results:
Solving problems around the world. As a consultant for the last 5+ years, Brad has done everything from traveling to Hong Kong to fix Cathay Pacific's cargo systems, to working on Nestle/Nabisco's warehousing and sales automation. He has a track record of over 100 satisfied clients and the number keeps going up.
His place with RAA:
Brad worked for Risdall through his former employer Shavlik Technologies. He was an all around consultant, mainly working on development and security issues. Today he works for RAA clients in countless ways:
* Development - .NET (C#), ASP, SQL, and many more
* Security - Server lockdowns, code reviews, network configuration
* Business - Project lifecycle and estimating
* Network - Security and decent all around skills
* As a Techie - "I am somewhat of a geek. I like to indulge myself, if you want to check out any of the latest gadgets just stop on in. Current investments (that's how I refer to them, my wife calls them toys) are my Pocket PC and the Delphi XM Radio boom box."
Proudest Moment:
"Catching a 20lb. northern on a cane pole."
Man of Many Talents:
I was raised by a single mother and my sister on a farm in Minnesota. So appearances may be deceiving. I can cook, clean, sew, knit, milk a cow, ride a horse, drive a tractor, and a few other non-stereotypical things for a 28 year old male computer geek.
