Brad is very compassionate, hardworking, dedicated, and caring. Brad works hard every day at his job as a physician assistant at a local hospital. Even when he has a bad day at work, is discouraged because he cannot help his patients the way he would like to, or thinks that he is not as knowledgeable in his field as he would like to be, he still tries his best. His dedication to his job and patients is pretty astounding. I admire him for tackling the challenges he faces head on and giving his all.

Not only is Brad dedicated to his job, but to his family as well. He is a great provider for me, not only financially, but also physically and spiritually. I never have to question if he is going to show up for something that is important to me. He is always there cheering me on. I know he will be there for our children cheering them on in any and all endeavors they go after.

Brad is very compassionate and does his very best to look after the wellbeing of others. Just like Brad has always been there for me during my trials and challenges, I know that he will be there for our kids during theirs. There is nothing any of our children could ever do that would diminish the love that Brad has for them.

Brad loves children and is great with all of his nieces and nephews (his side and mine). Brad will be a wonderful father and will teach our children the value of hard work, to love others, their family, and most importantly their Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Brad served a two year mission to Taiwan for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he learned the Chinese language and the culture. He has stayed with host families in Nepal, Costa Rica, and Mexico doing volunteer work. He spent time working alongside natives in very rural Malawi helping build a primary school through World of Difference. All people are the same in his eyes regardless of background or outward appearance. He understands differences in culture and he would welcome and love a child from any upbringing or ethnicity.
