About · Lebanon, PA I am Brad. Husband, dad of two, and we're expecting another. Family is my most important ministry. By day I build Rock RMS for churches at Triumph Tech. Nights and weekends I build and teach AI work loops. Two worlds, one thread: technology that hands people their time back.
The work I work where ministry meets product. Most people don't picture church software when they imagine a dream job. I get it. I didn't either. Every job I've had, gym floor to product team, kept pointing here.
Good technology serves people. That's the whole point. In practice: the workflows, reports, and agents inside Rock RMS that hand church staff their hours back. After hours, the same instinct - AI work loops, and the AI cohort at Triumph, where I teach teams to do it themselves.
The road here The dream job I named before it existed. My wife reminds me I told her my dream would be to build software for churches. (I'm not sure I believed it either.) Every season since handed me a piece of it.
