Brad was born January 8, 1962, in Thief River Falls, MN. He grew up in various countries, including France and Germany. Brad came to Bismarck when he was six and graduated from St. Mary’s High School. He went on to attend the University of North Dakota and finished his accounting degree at the University of Mary. Brad began his career with the International Newspaper Association Audit Bureau traveling to many different locations. He met Paula Pfiefle in February 1992 and the couple were married on October 1, 1993. Brad and Paula were blessed with what Brad called his greatest accomplishment, his two sons, Nicholas in 1996 and Alexander in 1999.

In January 2002 they moved to Detroit, MI, for the Oakland Press. In 2004, the family moved back to Bismarck and Brad continued working in the finance departments of various companies. Most recently, he worked for K & M Tire.

Brad enjoyed spending time at the lake, taking a family trip to Mazatlan, Mexico, and most recently, Jamaica, where he was right alongside Alex as he got scuba certified. Some of his favorite times with Nick was spent fishing. He loved watching his children compete in sports. Brad’s greatest accomplishment was being a father to his boys.
