Brad is a 45 year old Father of 3 from Grand Rapids MI. In August of 2014 he moved his family to Irvine, CA knowing no one. Brad’s biggest weakness is based around trust. Brad believes his trust as a child was broken due to abuse. Luckily, he has in him a glass is 99% full attitude which leads him to want to inspire people. At 28 years old, he allowed himself to get into a bad 10 year Real Estate deal that threatened his family’s security. Now he realizes that it was his greed that led him down that path. The healing is in the telling and when you bring it into the light, you should have men of God around to support you.
In 2008, Brad read a story about a family who needed bikes. He and his family took the afternoon, bought bikes and hunted down the family from the newspaper. I Like Giving was born as a way for people to tell their inspiring stories of giving like Brad’s family.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2nd Corinthians 9:7
