Brad has been a contributing writer for Kung Fu Kingdom since 2013, the world's leading martial arts film website, where he has covered movies, TV, training, and conducted on-the-record interviews with Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, Tony Jaa, Jackie Chan, Joe Taslim, Shannon Lee, Bren Foster, and many others. He joined Screen Rant as a Features Writer and Interviewer in 2019, one of the most widely read entertainment news sites in the world, where his interview portfolio expanded to include Frank Grillo, Gerard Butler, Dante Basco, Janet Varney, Annette O'Toole, and Dolph Lundgren.

He is also a lifelong devotee of Raul Julia's M. Bison, which he considers the most quotable movie villain of all time, bar none.
