Brad founded S2A in 2014 with a simple mission: Develop 10 Percenters! A concept based on the fact that fewer than 10% of people say they understand their company’s strategy and its connection to their daily work. Through his workshops, seminars and strategy coaching, Brad chips away at the divide from both sides by helping the C-suite set a clear, concise and compelling strategic direction, while helping project managers make sense of the company's strategy in an actionable way. Prior to founding S2A, Brad served as the chief financial officer and vice president of corporate strategy for a defense and aerospace contract manufacturing firm. There he managed the firm’s $100M+ project portfolio and successfully turned around the company’s performance on complex Department of Defense projects. Brad is a graduate of the US Navy’s Nuclear Power Program, and holds a Bachelor of Science in nuclear engineering technology. Over the course of his highly decorated military career, he served as executive officer, department head, program manager for nuclear electrical systems, and technical advisor for carrier electrical power systems. Brad is a frequent keynote speaker and recognized thought leader on strategy design and execution. In 2016, he was recognized by the Cincinnati Business Courier as one of the city’s Forty Under 40. He’s an avid trail runner, red wine enthusiast and aspiring guitarist who calls Cincinnati, Ohio home.

Fellow Members and Guests, Discoverer, architect, author, designer, father, founder, initiator, innovator, inventor, maker, mastermind, pioneer, producer, begetter. My name is Joseph Evans and I consider myself an originator. Originally from Redwood Falls, I grew up with my mother and 3 siblings which I was the youngest of. I spent my time as a child riding bike through Ramsey Park to the pool. Without a lot of friends, I typically resorted to returning home for some time on my Super Nintendo. To entertain myself I developed a lot of hobbies over the years including the habit of destroying and fixing everything I could get my hands on. What started with Legos, turned into bikes, computers, skateboards, cars, as well as my very own life. This self-destructive behavior seems to have begun at about the age of twelve. By age fourteen I was in my first institute for “behavioral issues” and highly medicated. In 2006 I earned my first Felony conviction. Being institutionalized throughout the school year I dropped out and obtained my GED. Eventually being released and allowed to remain on house arrest for the duration of my trial, I was contacted by a National Guard recruiter. Returning to court they had agreed to drop the felony in Lou of my joining the military, as a combat engineer, specializing in explosives and building bridges. I returned from Fort Lost in the Woods Missouri with a certificate of completion for training, along with a Reenlistment Code of 4 from a failed drug test. I continued a miniature reign of terror on my own life by receiving a felony drug conviction for the sales of ecstasy in large quantities. I spent my first stay as an adult in a real jail cell commuting to Minnesota West’s Granite Falls Campus for the computer support and repair program. Having begun this prior to my stay at the county motel, it was a serious challenge to keep up, considering most of my work was either online or on a computer. After my stay at the Redwood County Jail I began working with my father who had contacted me after seeing me in the newspaper. I developed 52 websites targeting every avenue of the Industrial Bakery Equipment Market. This was my first step back into a creative world. The time came to an end with my father’s company and I moved on to Marshall. Commuting to jonti-craft to make a living I needed to do something with my life. I saw an ad in the newspaper for a registration deadline at the university and enrolled that week. I opted into the Graphic design program being the closest thing to web development. I had been writing code since I was 16 and in my first 3 years of college I never saw a bit of it. However, I had gained a new perception on life, my definition of beauty, and an aesthetics in general. Between the clubs I’d been involved in, to the startup tech company that failed fast, I constantly added new endeavors to my plate. Collecting experiences had become my new hobby.
