Brad also served in the U.S. Attorney’s Organized Crime Drug Task Force (OCDTF), where he was responsible for the investigation and prosecution of regional, national, and international drug trafficking organizations. Prior to leaving the Office, Brad earned the U.S. Attorney’s top ranking of “Outstanding Prosecutor”.
