Dr. Brad has served as an educator and school leader for 25 years at locations in Africa and Asia. Prior to joining KIS, he lived in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, where he was Vice Principal at Woodstock School. His previous tenure at Woodstock stands testament to the long standing history that Woodstock and Kodai share. Brad comes with the knowledge that helps him navigate the rich legacy of our school and alumni community.
A teacher, published researcher, and senior administrator since 2001, Dr. Brad thrives on group dynamics and relishes the challenge of channeling collective passion into collaborative initiatives. Student wellbeing is his guiding principle; every initiative he undertakes places students first.
Dr. Brad believes strongly in character development, the vital importance of role-modeling, active classroom pedagogy, and holistic education. He is committed to the promotion of integrity, kindness, forgiveness, and other core Christian values that infuse individual well-being.
A native of the US Carolinas, Dr. Brad grew up between beautiful beaches and mountains, which fostered an appreciation of the powerful role outdoor education can play in whole-child development. He and his family have since embraced nature’s wonders wherever they go, from the foothills of the Himalayas to the coastlines of Japan and China. This leaves much for them to explore in the Palani Hills and surrounding coasts.
