25+ years of experience
Brad is a multi-faceted architect and project management professional with over twenty-five years of practical experience in the design and construction industry, as well as the founder of two startups for designers, Arazoo.com and prsnt.app.
A graduate of the Columbia University GSAPP, he is a registered New York Architect, an AIA member, and an accredited LEED BD+C professional. He has spent the majority of his career working for LePatner as an advisor to real estate owners and design professionals on the planning, design, and execution of their building projects, Brad is highly regarded as an expert whose technical knowledge and personal touch combine to produce successful outcomes.
In his role as a project manager and owner's representative at LePatner, Brad helps his clients identify and set their project goals, develops an overall project strategy, manages the selection and retention of the design and construction team, establishes and tracks the budget and schedule, and oversees the design and construction of the project. He specializes and thrives managing highly detailed, complex projects. While at LePatner, some of his completed projects included the Four Seasons Restaurant, the Cary Leeds NYJT&L tennis clubhouse and stadium courts in the Bronx, a flagship store for Tiffany in SoHo, a Long Island office headquarters for APS.org, and The Core Club in Manhattan.
On occasion, for projects already underway that are experiencing difficulty, Brad provides "project rescue" services to steer the project to a successful conclusion while assisting the owner in resolving any disputes with the design and/or construction team.
Parallel with his professional practice, Brad is the cofounder of two startups serving the design industry. Brad oversees the team responsible for product development, customer acquisition and retention, and he leads business development and strategic affiliations.
Arazoo is a B2B visual information platform that architects, builders, and owners use to research, organize, and collaborate on the selection of building products and materials. Arazoo's professionally crowd-sourced product library and workflow tools enable individuals and their teams to specify products more efficiently and centralize all their accumulated knowledge from project to project.
prsnt (as in, to present something) is a web-based mood board creation tool for designers - and non-designers - from any industry. Great looking vision boards, story boards, and collages can be created in a fraction of the time it would take using standard image layout software, and users can use our clipper tool to grab any image from any website to use in their boards.
Brad leverages this career of experience to provide architectural design for residential, retail and workplace projects.
With his wife of 16+ years, he splits his time between Brooklyn and the Catskills, where they pursue their passions for cycling, gardening, amari, and photography.
