Bradley’s experience in the Developmental Disabilities field began at a young age, as he grew up alongside his younger sister who is diagnosed with autism and a vision impairment. He learned firsthand that everyone is different, and everyone needs help on some level. After his mother’s passing, Bradley began learning more about services offered in the I/DD field. His younger sister began attending summer camp and Bradley was inspired to start a career in the field.

Over the course of two years, he worked at a summer camp, after-school program, weekend respite program, and adult day support program as a direct support professional. Bradley’s older sister became a sponsored residential provider to care for their younger sister, and he has experience as a back-up worker for that service. He is also a natural support for other individuals in his life who need some additional support with independent living skills due to challenges with developmental disabilities and mental health needs.

Bradley is a kind, goal-driven person who gives much attention to detail. In his spare time, he enjoys tinkering with things and improving them such as home improvement projects and customization to vehicles. He loves attending car shows and taking road trips. Bradley enjoys traveling and has been to 7 different countries. He enjoys meeting new people and experiencing different cultures, foods, and lifestyles as well as sightseeing and photography.

Early in his childhood, Bradley learned about Mother Teresa and her dedication to helping people in need. As he grew older, this story resonated and sparked an understanding of the importance of helping others and his desire to do so as well. Bradley is proud of the opportunity to be a sponsored residential provider and shared, “I believe that when people work together, it makes the world a better place.”

Bradley lives in a newly renovated home nestled adjacent to a neighborhood with a park. It is a cozy, single-story home with a no-step entry, and a wide entry door with a spacious bathroom. The home has an open floor plan, and comfy, inviting furniture. The front porch offers shaded seating. There is a spacious yard featuring a gazebo, fire pit, and has plenty of privacy and nature views.
