An accomplished concert soloist, Brad continues to expand his repertoire, which encompasses numerous Mozart masses, Fauré’s Requiem, Bach’s Magnificat, Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Handel’s Messiah, Haydn’s The Creation, and more.

In addition to his performing career, Brad maintains an active teaching schedule and is a founding member of Fox Valley Opera, where he serves as the Artistic Director. FVO's mission is to bring world-class operatic performances to the Fox Valley area in suburban Chicago.

Brad earned his undergraduate education at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, before completing a two-year Post-Baccalaureate Artist Residency with the College of Charleston in South Carolina. He continues his study under the tutelage of the respected dramatic baritone Michael Chioldi.
