A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT ME |
I was born in Watertown in 1965. My younger years were spent in Needham then Irvine California, Durham North Carolina and back to Acton Massachusetts in the late 70s. I look at the moving around as a great education. My family then moved to Waltham where I spent my junior and senior years in high school at a Boston area college prep school. I was elected to the national honor society and I lettered in varsity lacrosse and basketball as captain. I was then off to Boston College where I majored in English with a minor in Fine Arts. At the end of my Junior year I decided to broaden my horizons once again and moved to Martha's Vineyard for a number of years working in all aspects of construction. At that time I held a class 2 license which allowed me to drive 10 wheel dump trucks for hauling all types of construction materials. I became one of the foreman for the asphalt paving crew at White Brothers Construction Co. which gave me the opportunity to operate heavy equipment such as asphalt paving machines and Caterpillar loaders. Operating those huge machines was a lot of fun. In 1989 I moved to Providence, Rhode Island where I worked as a commercial painter by day and a bouncer (of all things) at night. In 1991 I decided to finish my degree at Boston College. I went back to school as an art major focusing on ceramics. I concentrated on an ancient Japanese method of firing pottery called Raku and the glaze/clay chemistry associated with it. I acquired a tremendous amount of information about both the technical and historical traditions in ceramics ranging from early roman terra-cotta to clay formulas used on the space shuttle for heat dissipation. After I graduated deans list and won the fine arts award in 1993 the college offered me the position as the resident artist. My work was shown in galleries all over the country including New York and Newbury Street in Boston. I worked with many other artists in the Boston area on projects such as ice sculptures for First Night and the South Boston Open Studios. I would have to say that I was totally immersed in the art scene. This time in my life was very rewarding because I also had the opportunity to teach ceramics to high school students at Chapel Hill Chauncy Hall school in Waltham for four years. I like to think that I had a positive influence on a number of kids who found ceramics class a fun way to express themselves. In 1996 I bought a three family home in Somerville where I currently live. In 1999 I Got my Real Estate license and went to work in my fathers office on Martha's Vineyard. His office has been on the island for almost 30 years. After a couple years of going back and forth between the island and Somerville I decided to look for a local office to work in. I chose to join an independent office in Watertown where an old friend of mine had opened an office. After 10 years I started to feel that REMAX would be a better fit for my work ethic and provide me with better overall potential. I joined REMAX on the Charles in September of 2011. REMAX on the Charles is a new office opened by Gary Rogers, a guy that I have a great deal of respect for. He has attained the highest ranks of the National Association of Realtors and is a resource that other owners all over the state go to. I am proud to be working in his office. I am a highly competitive person in both my personal life and in my business life. My hobbies include website design, racquetball (which I play about 2-3 hours per day) and the biggest of all I am a member of 2 NASCAR pro-stock race teams. We race at Thompson Speedway in Connecticut, and Seekonk speedway in Seekonk Massachusetts. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about who I am. Brad |
