band brad Brad Hogan

Brad is originally from Las Vegas, where he grew up and went to college (and probably the occasional casino too).  After 20+ years in the hot desert, he finally decided to hit the road and move to the beaches of San Diego, while his girlfriend headed out to the midwest for medical school.  Two years and many long distance phone calls later, he packed up the surf board and headed towards the gateway to the west, St Louis.

Brad is an entrepreneur at heart, which explains his next move in life.  He spent his first 6 months in St Louis developing his own web project, UrbHub.com.  The new venture was built from scratch, which was a great hands on experience.  The more involved the project became, the more Brad realized that he enjoyed web development.  One sunny afternoon, he just so happened to be walking by an office on Washington Ave. in downtown St Louis – and thought it would be a good idea to stop in and get some marketing and design advice.  Well, now he comes to that same office everyday and dishes out his own advice now and then.

A Loud moment from Brad’s past:

“It’s a sunny day in San Diego. I’m new to surfing, but for some reason I’m helping a friend learn. As the “instructor,” I give a few tips and leave with, “watch me.” I start paddling and get on the wave. At this point I think I’m pretty cool because I actually got up on the board, but not to fear, the joy didn’t last. All of a sudden I spot a younger kid in front of me about 20-30 feet away. Most surfers would be able to easily navigate around him, but what did I do? … Went straight for him, flew off my board, and my tailbone landed on top of his head. Lesson over.”
