Brad worked as a supervisor underneath me for two years. He oversaw the operation our Einstein's brand coffee shop. Brad found himself in high pressure situations as we are on a university and customers visited during before class or after class in large groups. Although these times could be stressful, he maintained a cool demeanor that helped keep our staff morale high. He was flexible in scheduling and willing to put in whatever time was necessary to help the team. Outside of a professional setting, Brad has always had a love for animals. He has dreamed of being a dog owner since 2016, but understands the responsibility and attention that comes with being an owner. He has taken on this repsonsibility on multiple occasions for friends that wanted to go out of town for the weekend. I believe that he has the patience, calm demeanor and professional attitude that will make him an exemplerary candidate for the postion.
