Brad is a junior, intending to transfer into the journalism major. He joined The Daily Collegian during Spring Semester 1999, when as a candidate, wrote for Men's Tennis and was named Sports Candidate of the Semester.

Long before his days at Penn State, Brad was born in Red Bank, NJ on May 21, 1978. He lives in Tinton Falls, NJ with his parents and two twin brothers, and attended Monmouth Regional High School in Tinton Falls. His proudest moment was when a short student film of his managed to equally confuse and offend about half of those in attendance at a Teen Arts Festival. Brad graduated from high school in 1996, and turned down admission offers from Seton Hall and some military junior college in Missouri to attend Penn State University and major in film and video.

Brad spent his first year of college at the Hazleton campus, where he helped found the Film and Video Club (he has no idea if it still exists). The Film and Video Club organized an Easter fundraiser, and made a short video for Parents' Weekend, entitled A Day in the Life of a Typical Penn State Student. Brad admits it was a total lie, and nothing like actual student life. He also wrote on and off for the HighAcres Collegian, and sustained two trips to the emergency room and two car accidents.

Brad escaped Hazleton and moved up to the main campus, where he was unable to maintain the 3.0 GPA needed for the film mjaor, and declared media studies after his shiny new major, only to later realize that he had no idea what he could do with it, and is now switching to journalism.

When not typing away at the keyboard in the Collegian offices, Brad may be typing away at the keyboard in the computer labs, working as a Rover for the Center for Academic Computing. Before its demise, Brad was pro-yellow paper, and received a computer virus from an irate environmentalist when trying to express his views. Brad also enjoys watching movies and writing short scripts (or at least trying to), playing sports, and generally goofing off. Someday after graduation, Brad hopes to eventually cover the New York Yankees for a New York City newspaper.
