Personal:
Prior to coming to Christianson & Associates, PLLP, I spent 8 years in Fargo with Charles Bailly & Company/Eide Bailly, LLP as a Supervisor in their A&A department, where I was primarily an auditor/tax preparer assisting clients in the construction and manufacturing industries. After that, I spent a little over a year as a financial analyst with Knife River Company, a non-regulated subsidiary of MDU Resources where I was involved in modeling and due diligence related to acquisitions of gravel mining and construction companies on the West Coast along with fulfilling my responsibilities assisting in SEC filing requirements. The opportunity to become a CFO in the construction industry became available and I spent 5 years as CFO for Sherbrooke Asphalt Inc., a highway heavy contractor located in Detroit Lakes, MN where I was responsible for the administrative, financial, and risk management operations of the company as well as reporting accurate financial results.
In his free time, Bradley enjoys fishing, hunting and time spent with his family on the many lakes in West Central Minnesota.
Lives:
Spicer, MN with my wife Kelly O’Farrell, daughter Ella and sons Colin and Crosby.
