Like all the best mentors, Brad excels at teaching specific, usable skills in a way that inspires one to grow as a person. He has an amazing ability to take complex, nebulous concepts and break them down in a way that makes sense -- which would be impressive enough, but he also then helps his mentees understand how to explain those concepts in turn. He has a belief in constant improvement and self-reflection that is inspiring. All of these are products of the inherent kindness and heart that make him such an excellent educator.
