From the foundation of his work with various intervention models, Brad developed the Invitation2Change method of intervention. Brad believes that an identified loved one’s support group is uniquely poised to offer support, accountability and structure from a beginning point of love and honesty – no matter how broken-down, discouraged or troubled they feel.


Highly motivated and with long-term sobriety himself, Brad’s approach is no-nonsense and understandable, blending hope with the dynamic nature of his distinctly hands-on work.


Previously a network affiliate News Anchor, his TV work today centers around his work as a Core Team Member of The Doctor Oz Show. He is a Consulting Producer for an upcoming show on The Oprah Winfrey Network.


Brad is a Board-Registered Interventionist. His book, “How to Change Someone You Love: Four Steps to Help You Help Them” is on bookshelves around the world.
