Brad
is a former United States Marine, serving as the founding executive
director, overseeing daily operations for Veterans for Truth Inc. (VFT).
He is also a Christian therapist and Vice President of Foundational
Truth Family Services, a Bible based counseling practice serving
individuals and families in the Saginaw area since 2008. Brad had
the vision that became VFT after coming across a number of Iraq and
Afghanistan veterans who either preferred to see a Christian
therapist (and could not afford to) or could not receive services
elsewhere for a number of reasons that included less than honorable
discharges and the inability to afford services.
He
sought like-minded individuals to help found VFT to ensure that no
veteran or their family member would have to go without counseling
services for problems that result directly or indirectly from their
military service.
For
more than 10 years prior to founding VFT, Brad worked as a counselor
and therapist helping individuals and their families in the tri-city
area with problems stemming from addiction and depression or anxiety
to more complicated family problems.
Brad
holds a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Michigan
State University, and is a doctoral candidate at MSU in Family
Studies working on his dissertation on Meaning-Making Coping and
posttraumatic growth processes in Combat Veterans.
He
was raised near Bay City, Michigan prior to joining the Marine
Corps, and currently lives in Saginaw, Michigan.
