When he was 5 years old his family moved to Southern California where he surfed, played baseball and had a love for skiing. After graduating from Westchester High School in 1970, Brad served as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Lima, Peru. After returning home he enrolled at Brigham Young University on a gymnastics scholarship, to be closer to the “greatest snow on earth”. While attending BYU he excelled as a gymnast and student. At the age of 23, he was asked by his friends to play a round of golf. He thought at the time “Why in the world would I want to go out and hit a little white ball around a golf course?” After playing his first round of golf he was hooked and has been an avid golfer since. While at BYU, Brad met his eternal companion Dawn Niedert, who was successful in convincing him to marry her in August 1975.

In 1976, Brad and Dawn opened All American Gymnastics out of Orem, UT and shortly after moved their small family to Cedar Hills.

In 2015, he retired from BYU and became a self-proclaimed “full time retired golfer” as a member of Alpine Country Club. Alpine became a home away from home for him where he made numerous lifelong friends, participated in many golf tournaments and golf excursions and even served on the Board of Directors.
