It’s easy to see Brad as a superhero because he’s achieved things about which most of of us just dream: Naval Academy graduate, explosives expert, breaker of a thirty year old world record, gold medalist in his second Paralympic sport, husband, father and Ivy League PhD candidate, but his success is the product of his struggles. He was about to quit the swim team at Navy to concentrate on his studies before his teammates voted him Captain for his senior season. He had to talk his way into Explosives Ordnance School because his grades weren’t competitive. Brad is a leader of men and women, who does his best to follow the example of his heroes and mentors, and with compassion and empathy. Strife and struggle have shaped who he is and he continues to seek their benefit daily.
