Brad has 39 years of experience in the Assistance Dog Industry. He is a past Assessor with the International Guide Dog Federation and he has served as the Chair of the IGDF Development Committee as well as the Accreditation Committee.
His initial experience in training working dogs was through his military service with the United States Air Force. Brad was an original member of the “Green Dog” team which innovated new ways of training Sentry, Patrol and Drug/Bomb detector dogs. This unit ultimately evolved into today’s Dog Training Section at Lackland Air Force Base where military working dogs are trained for all branches of the military and Federal law enforcement agencies.
In his current role with the Guide Dog Foundation & America’s VetDogs, Brad works with a dedicated group of Assistance Dog Instructors who provide Guide Dogs and Service dogs for civilians, first responders and US Military veterans throughout the United States and Canada. He is honored to serve those who have served and sacrificed for their country.
