Me, Brad, originally of Pierre, South Dakota, is a blue citizen residing in a very blood red part of the Twin Cities. I'm married to Brandy, originally of Ely, Minnesota, and together, we have two children, Katiebug and Kierbot. 

Things that make me happy: free beer, music, travel, tacos, sleeping in, amusement & theme parks, cats, movies, bacon, bowling, camping, airplanes, Europe, The Simpsons, and many more!

Things that make me sad: leaving the lights on, sweating, being late, one uppers, math, rabid religion, Tea Party, Fox News, Football, pop music,
