Hiking in the Sierras as a young adult and going on memorable family vacations in national parks inspired Brad to have a deep involvement with nature-based organizations. As a board member, Brad hopes to apply his broad expertise on legal matters, finance, risk management, corporate governance and previous nonprofit management experience to support a healthy and sustainable organization in NatureBridge. Brad is a real estate lawyer and partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where he also is involved in a pro-bono real estate program. In addition to NatureBridge, Brad serves on the boards of Eastside College Preparatory School and Peninsula Open Space Trust. Brad is based in Menlo Park, CA.
Like so many others, we have made difficult decisions in response to COVID-19 with far-reaching implications for our students, staff and future. Our programs—the reason we exist—are cancelled for the rest of the school year. That's 13,000 kids who don't get to experience their national parks this spring. For our nonprofit, it also means $5 million in lost revenue and significant staff reductions. We, like so many others, are in crisis.
