In childhood, Brad discovered a love for the amazing world of insects. Books such as Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Insects and The New Field Book of Freshwater Life fueled his interest in many creatures big and small. In Grade 4, he successfully reared two Monarch butterflies from egg to adult.

Now nearing 50, Brad is a graphic designer for the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce but still takes the time to photograph the natural world all around him, while also sharing his love for nature with everyone.
