Brad's story

I'm a visionary with a passion for community, music, and leadership, and I'm inspired to change and grow Rochester, NY into a true music city. DUTCH has provided me the opportunity to fuse my >25 years of experience as a performing musician with >15 years of professional experience in mixed-use real estate operations, development, and wealth management to create a one-of-a-kind creative community space for the oft-underserved musicians of Rochester and its surrounding areas.

I'm leveraging these unique qualifications alongside my >10 years of non-profit board leadership to unify and inspire the local music community towards a shared vision of a robust, supported, and thriving music scene. DUTCH is the passion project of a lifetime, and I'm deeply grateful to be able to grow a business that provides real-life support to so many community members who have inspired me along the way, and to expand the positive effects of music on my community at-large, from fellow musicians to venue owners, and from patrons to community organizations.
