Brad began his professional legal employment as a law clerk for the Honorable John R. Gibson of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Brad had the rare opportunity to work on cases in five of the eleven federal circuit courts of appeals, including the First, Second, Sixth, Eighth, and Ninth.

Following his clerkship, Brad was an associate with the law firm Sidley Austin LLP in Chicago, Illinois. At Sidley, he practiced intellectual property litigation, where he defended one of the world's largest computer companies against multiple accusations of patent infringement. His cases included both software and hardware patent claims. Brad participated in many aspects of litigation, such as discovery, summary judgment, expert reports, and pretrial preparation. In one such case, Brad was a member of the trial team that traveled to Marshall, Texas . The case ultimately settled during the first week of testimony to the jury.

Brad joined Stueve Siegel Hanson as an associate in 2009. He is especially interested in protecting inventors whose patents are being infringed. He is also interested in copyright, trademark, and antitrust litigation.

Prior to becoming a lawyer, Brad was a computer systems and security analyst for the University of Missouri, where he developed a campus program to educate students on intellectual property and the Internet that is still used today. Brad subsequently left information technology to attend law school and graduated from the University of Missouri Columbia School of Law. During law school, Brad was the Lead Articles Editor for the Missouri Law Review. He also interned for the Missouri Public Defenders, where he was the second chair in a criminal jury trial that resulted in the acquittal of all charges against the defendant.
