In 2006, Brad was the typical American guy – overweight, high cholesterol, low energy, didn’t sleep well. Sound familiar?
After nearly 20 years in the telecommunications industry, Brad moved
back home to Pennsylvania to seriously reevaluate his life. He was at
least 40 pounds overweight, mildly depressed because of a recent
business failure, and prescribed the drug Lipitor to normalize high
cholesterol levels. Needless to say, he was not in the healthiest state.
Brad’s aunt then happened to introduce him to the documentary film
“Eating,” which highlights the benefits of a plant-based diet. For some
reason the film really resonated with him, and overnight he adopted a
strictly raw food diet. Within months, Brad felt like a completely
different person. He had shed over 40 pounds, lowered his cholesterol
levels, and discovered a youthful vigor and energy he hadn’t experienced
since his mid-20s.
While he was completely invested in this new way of eating, he did
miss the familiar crunch of traditional American snack food. He started
experimenting with raw chips made from fresh vegetables, sprouted flax
seeds, fruit nuts, buckwheat groats and an array of spices. He
dehydrated the chips, keeping the temperature below 115 degrees, so as
not to break his commitment to a raw diet.
Homemade Snacks Take Off
Brad’s homemade snacks were met with a lot of enthusiasm from family
and friends, and due to his entrepreneurial spirit, he quickly realized
the commercial appeal they could have. He ran demos at local farmer’s
markets, and further praise validated the notion that his product had
real potential. Soon, local health food stores and regional Whole Foods
Markets began carrying Brad’s Raw Chips. Since then, Brad’s Raw Foods
has been in a constant state of upward growth and expansion, and Brad’s
products are sold in specialty retailers and established grocers all
throughout the country. His product lines now include Brad’s Raw Chips
& Crackers, Brad’s Raw Leafy Kale, and Brad’s Raw 4 Paws. His line
of Brad’s Raw Onion Rings will also be launching soon.

Though
Brad’s main job is to continue to oversee the success of Brad’s Raw
Foods, he also enjoys traveling and connecting with people all around
the world in order to “spread the kale.” He takes great pleasure in
sharing his story and inspiring others to adopt healthier habits and
lifestyles.
Raw food completely changed Brad’s health and his life, and he hopes
his products and company’s mission will help do the same for you!
