At far too young an age, Brad developed a love for political satire and became an avid fan of the Doonesbury comic strip. He spent years taking art classes and designing his own strips before realizing he enjoyed writing the stories more than the visual art. His thoughts turned to being a writer someday.

The earliest adult novels he devoured were science fiction until he started reading mysteries. He was hooked. Authors Lawrence Block, Sue Grafton, Gregory Mcdonald and Robert B. Parker, had strong influences on him.

He was thrilled when he discovered LGBTQ mysteries are a thing, and the list of authors who inspired him to write in the subgenre are too numerous to mention. He published his first novel in 2019.

Brad produced Queer Writers of Crime, a weekly podcast featuring interviews with LGBTQ authors of mystery, suspense, and thriller fiction. Episodes are still available. He currently produces the podcast Queer We Are.

He lives in the California High Desert with his best friend and husband Maurice.
