Where it all begins
Brad began his musical career in 1976 playing with a band called "Tricks" on "The Strip" in Knoxville, Tennessee. The lead singer of the band became a well-known singer named Rex Smith.

Brad moved to Houston in 1978 and joined a band DWO, playing guitar and using his talent as a singer as well. They played in such places as Whiskey River, The Old Plantation, The Alley, and The Limit.
DWO eventually changed their name to "DAMASCUS" and opened up a 7000 SQ. FT. club in Huffman, Texas with 97 Rock and also sponsored by Lone Star beer, Tony's Pizza and others. Damascus went on the road with such musicians as Jim Dandy (Black Oak Arkansas) and Leslie West (The Round Mound of Sound).
In 1985, Brad joined several very talented musicians and began "Excalibur". Cardi's, Rockers, Struts, Fitzgeralds and Rockafellers are just a few of the clubs Excalibur has enjoyed playing. They have backed up big bands also. Point blank, Pat Travers, Thin Lizzy, Quiet Riot, and Ratt are on that list.

Axe and its new beginning!
In 2004, Brad was asked to take the position of road manager for Blackfoot. Having become good friends with Bobby Barth, the two would begin planning the transition and rebirth of Axe.
Brad has toured with Pat Travers, Greg T. Walker (Blackfoot and Lynyrd Skynyrd - played on 1st & last album) and Simon Wright (UFO, Dio, & AC/DC).  Jam sessions with Pat, Simon and Greg T. in Brad's music studio at his home are among his favorite memories.
