Born and raised in the greater Pittsburgh, PA  area, Brad is a Life Member of the NRA and Second Amendment Foundation, USCCA member and regular supporter of the Firearms Policy Coalition and other pro Second Amendment organizations..  

Brad grew up an avid hunter and firearms enthusiast. The passion for the shooting sports has always been a part of his life, but until recently, never his “second job”.  Brad has spent the bulk of his professional career in the IT industry. After attending his first pistol class in 2015, he decided he wanted to continue this journey so that he could help others learn these important and necessary skills. 

After attending several professional training schools over the next few years, he decided to utilize his knowledge and training skills to help others to understand situational awareness and to empower them with the skills and confidence to protect themselves and loved ones should the need arise.

In this endeavour, Keystone Freedom Group was born.

In addition to his training of others, Brad continues to study and enhance his knowledge and skills from some of the leaders in the firearms industry whenever possible.
