Upon his return from Vietnam, Brad earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation Management from Parson College.  After graduation, Brad stayed on at the college for a year as Chief Flight Instructor, running the flight school and staff.  

Brad started his aircraft sales career with Cessna Aircraft Company based in Wichita, KS.  He was quickly promoted to a district manager’s position covering the Rocky Mountain region, selling new Cessna aircraft to dealers and assisting them with the sale of their aircraft inventories to their retail clients.

 Three years later, Brad moved to Monarch Aviation (now West Star Aviation) in Grand Junction, Colorado, where he spent the next nine years selling Cessna piston singles, twins, turbo-props and Citations, and was promoted to Vice President of the company.

 In 1984, Brad took the position of Vice President of Aircraft Sales with Western Aircraft (Morrison Knudson’s division, based in Boise, Idaho) where he bought and sold turbo-prop and jet aircraft worldwide, specializing in Falcon-Jets, Gulfstreams and Cessna Caravans.  His work for clients took him to Europe, Saudi Arabia, Japan, China, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean and South America.

After over a decade at Western Aircraft, Brad moved to Flight Center (formerly Flight Craft, based at Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington) as Vice President of Aircraft Sales, where he was responsible for buying and selling corporate jet aircraft.  Clay Lacy Aviation purchased Flight Center in 2003 and Brad continues his role as V. P. of Aircraft Sales company-wide, and has taken on the additional role of General Manager—Seattle Operations.
