Brad mixed audio for many local Christian singing groups and in 1984 he attended the “Recording Workshop” located in Chillicothe, Ohio. In 1985 Brad got involved with “The King’s Place, which was a Christian music venue in Columbus, Ohio. He started out mixing monitors and house for many well know Christian groups. In the early 90’s Brad became the house engineer and was there until they closed the doors in 2001. Also during the late 80’s and early 90’s Brad mixed audio for a locally produced show called “Night Songs” which was hosted by Mark Yarger. The show was a 30 minute show that played Christian videos and had a live studio audience with a live band and eventually was increased to a one hour show with live songs from the band. Brad was hired on at WSFJ TV-51 in 1993 as the audio engineer where he mixed audio for many taped productions as well as live remote productions.
