About Brad
My home... I grew up in the town of Fairmount, Indiana. It's no wonder Fairmount adopted as its motto "Fairmount--Home of Distinguished People." From this tiny Midwestern town have come numerous notables, including cartoonist and creator of "Garfield the Cat," Jim Davis; CBS National News commentator, Phil Jones; Director of the National Hurricane Center, Robert C. Sheets; famed military historian/author, Dr. James A. Huston; and Mary Jane Ward, author of the award-winning novel, Snake Pit. The most notable of them all is James Dean. The 1950's Movie Star who was killed in an auto accident in 1955. He made three major movies before his death. East of Eden, Rebel Without A Cause, Giant.
My education... I graduated from Madison-Grant High School in 1986. I played Football, Track & Field, and two years of Basketball. I earned five varsity letters. I was named All-Grant County and All-Central Indiana Conference in football. After High School I attended Taylor University, Upland for two years studying secondary education to be a teacher. I played football for the Trojans and had a great time. I also got my EMT certification and volunteered for Grant County EMS on Fairmount Medic Ambulance Service on weekends. I loved medicine so much that I changed my major from teaching to nursing and changed schools to Indiana University of Kokomo. I went to IUK for 2 years then decided I like pre-hospital medicine better and went to Paramedic school at Home Hospital, in Lafayette, Indiana.
My places of employment... As a youth I did odd jobs like mowing yards, leaf raking, shoveling snow and corn detasseling. I worked at McDonald's while in high school. I worked at Taylor as a Gym monitor while in college. When I was studying nursing at IUK I first worked at Hills department store then a nursing home. I got a job at MGH as a student nurse then when I got my Paramedic certification I worked at MGH in the ambulance department for 13 years. I was the Training Officer for seven years. I moved to Kokomo, Indiana in May, 2002 and presently working at St. Joseph Hospital as a Paramedic. I am certified in ACLS, PALS, NALS, BTLS, IEVOC. I also teach American Heart Association CPR and ACLS Courses.
My family life... I was married in 1990 and had a son in 1994. His name is Brady Todd. Things didn't work out with my first wife and we were divorced. That's all I have to say about that. I got remarried to Amanda K. Bunch who is the love of my life, my world, my everything! We had a baby girl, May 25, 2003, her name is Madison Nicole.
My hobbies and Interests... I enjoying traveling and visiting theme parks, museums, historic sites. I love watching and playing sports. My favorites are basketball (Pacers, Indiana, Purdue), football (Colts, Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame), Baseball (Reds, Cubs), computers (playing on the Internet, chatting, surfing, e-mailing and making web pages). I love spending time with my family doing family stuff. I love my kids and my wonderful wife Amanda. Some of my hobbies is collecting postage stamps, since I was 12 years old.
