He and his family were members of Sierra View PCA in Fresno, CA where RTS graduate Brian Peterson serves as Senior Minister.

Although Brad is from California, believe it or not, he has never been surfing and he doesn't say "dude" all that often. When Brad is not spending time with his family he can usually be found memorizing a thousand flashcards or writing exegesis papers.
