Brad's Story
Life is good. After graduating from CHS in 1986, I finished a Bachelor of Music degree at Oklahoma City University in 1990. Deciding that mature adulthood was not for me, I went on to receive another bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Missionary Baptist College, AKA as the Marlow Diploma Mill. While there, I began teaching American History, which then led to my decision to obtain another unmarketable degree by getting my MA in History from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1994. While teaching for Redlands Community College and UCO, I worked on my PhD in History at Oklahoma State University, which I FINALLY completed in 2005. I have been on the faculty of Oklahoma Panhandle State University in Goodwell, Oklahoma since 1999, and I am currently Associate Professor of History and the Chair of the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences. I am a frequent speaker at history and pop culture conferences ...Expand for more
around the nation, and also do academic publications as time permits.
I am am the proud father of two great sons, Benjamin and Joseph, aged 13 and 11 respectively. I also have tons of students past and present that I like to claim as my pride and joy.
I was a founding member of a band called Bipolar Echo, playing drums and singing with them for over five years before ending my tenure with the band last year. While I miss music, it was time for a break.
I am a Catholic by creed, although I still have a stubborn St. Augustine by way of Martin Luther streak that is always getting in the way and keeping me on my toes. I am also a sentimental sap when it comes to friends from my past. I have been known to literally cry when looking at old yearbooks and the like. The older I get, the worse my sappiness becomes!
That's enough. If you want to know any more, contact me...or get a more interesting life...:-)
