Brad’s voice can also be heard on radio ads on stations across South Africa, and has become synonymous with interviews of top national and international Christian artists and authors.

Brad started his career at RSFM 97.0 Campus Radio back in 1997 while still studying, and 2022 marked 25 years since he started to live his childhood dream.  

Apart from a few years away from radio, teaching overseas where he also voiced children’s books, Brad has inspired, uplifted and entertained listeners in South Africa and around the world.

Nearly a decade of international radio, together with his Media Training curriculum which he has presented as far afield as Nigeria, Brad has been an influencer in the industry who has also remained eager to learn.

When not on air, Brad is a family man who wants to also uplift the community through his numerous entrepreneurial ventures.
