    Bradley has been a dedicated judge in the UNC Asheville Social Entrepreneurship competition for three years.  Even though most of his career has been as a turnaround / restructuring manager, he now spends his time running a not-for-profit regional fiber network (ERC Broadband), enhancing sustainability of an organization supporting the social, healthcare, education, economic development, and government sectors across WNC.  Over the past five years, he has started four businesses. Three have been solidly bootstrapped to self-sufficiency, while one died an expensive death.  Early in his career, he spent time in the capital markets and, briefly, as a mechanical engineer designing satellite / aerospace components.
