Personal Background
Bradley W. Bishop is the proud father of the now six year old Stella McKenzie Bishop and between the learning, the naps, the meals, the fits of rebellion, and the clean-ups afterwards, he spends as much time as possible with her, pursuing life's little adventures, real and make believe. Before Stella, Bradley studied, slept, ate, rebelled and struck out on adventures on his own. In the 1990’s Bradley took a High School Degree from Woodberry Forest School in Virginia and a Bachelors Degree from Bowdoin College in Maine. In the summers Bradley lead teams of rafters through the towering waves of white water on more than 20 rivers in Idaho, New Mexico, California, Montana, and Utah. Although he still ventures out on occasional private river trips for the rush of adrenalin and the joy of floating through the wild, his commercial rafting days ended in 1999 with the sale of his own Black Paw Rafting Co. of Bend, Oregon.
In the mid-to-late '90's Bradley began writing, directing, and producing black box theater at The University of Oregon. Then he took his talents to the Oregon Coast where he spent a year living in a sailboat and designing ads for a local newspaper during the day, while writing, directing, and producing local theater at night. Having achieved local success he decided to try his hand in a more metropolitan location. Bradley moved to Seattle in 1999 where he began directing and producing theatrical and musical performances in conjunction with Krying Sky Productions and Cornish College of the Arts. Bradley also began studying Design and Communications under various mentors such as David Lemley and Joe Cachero, creative stars both of which were found in the rise of the Starbucks empire. He began to teach at the School of Visual Concepts before moving to New York City for two years where he took his Masters Degree from Parsons School of Design and Technology in 2004.
Since the birth of his daughter in his final semester at Parsons, Bradley has had a captive audience giving meaning and purpose to his own stories. Moving to Missouri with Stella's mother, Bradley took the creative lead of a commercial video production company applying his newly acquired skils in broadcast design. Missouri was more than comfortable, but Seattle offered new adventures and a place on the cutting edge where video and the internet were merging into "new media". In 2005 he moved back to take his place in the creation of a new form of communication and he has been here ever since.
