Brad is Founder and Owner of First Class Lawn and Landscape, Inc. What started out as after school work in 1994, First Class has grown into a multi-million dollar full service turf maintenance and landscape construction company. Under Brad’s leadership, in 2008 and 2009 First Class was recognized by the Indianapolis Business Journal (IBJ) as one of the fastest growing companies in Central Indiana. Further, in 2007 Brad was selected by the IBJ as an outstanding leader in their 40 Under 40 Class.

An avid sports and arts supporter, Brad and his wife Wendi, formed First Class Hospitality in 2007. This full service travel and entertainment business was started primarily to meet the needs of First Class clients. However, it has quickly grown into a boutique company serving a wide variety of customers with needs ranging from the Colts, Indians, Pacers, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, concerts and customized travel packages.

Brad is actively involved in his community. He serves on the Boards of the Baxter YMCA, People Helping People Inc. and is a member of the Indianapolis Skyline Club. Further, he is involved in numerous ministry activities, whether serving youth at Indian Creek Christian Church, where he and Wendi are members, or through short-term mission trips that have taken him around the world, he has worked to touch people at every opportunity.

 

Recognizing that success is a bi-product of significance, First Class under Brad’s leadership began a program in 2007 that has raised over $50,000 through First Class employees and the company to bring assistance to the Indianapolis community and First Class families. Believing in life long learning, Brad has studied at Ball State University, Cincinnati Bible College and holds several professional licenses related to the industry.
