In 1998 he began serving a church in Mt. Horeb, WI as a Youth Pastor.  The ministry was very successful as many teenagers came to Christ and began to walk out and live a godly lifestyle.  Their ministry grew from about 25 students to a weekly average around 100.  While in Madison he was the Assistant Director of a regional youth ministry as well, that networked churches and hundreds of students from Madison and the surrounding area together for quarterly events. 

In the fall of 2001 Brad accepted the call to become the next Pastor and President of Youth Alive, Inc.  He also travels and speaks in churches to youth and adults and speaks at conferences, camps, retreats and seminars.  He has been involved in missions in multiple states in the US and also in Argentina, Mexico and the Ukraine.
