Brad is a lifelong outdoorsman who has spent much time in the field both on land and in the water. His father's side of the family is based out of Oahu and he spent many summers there freediving and spearfishing. After many years recreationally freediving and spearfishing in both Hawaii and California, he decided to get serious in the community and the sport. In 2017, Brad joined the board of the OC Spearos as a means to give back to the community of Southern California freedivers and spearos. During his 4 year tenure on the board, Brad created the world's first scholarship program aimed at paying for freedive education for those who have a financial inability to get that education. This fund has paid for over 50 candidates' education and looks forward to many more! Brad is also a father and understands the need to teach best practices in the water; we all want to ensure that, regardless of parent or child, we come home.
