While playing hardcore punk in the early 80s, Brad became involved in Zen Buddhism. The realistic, no BS philosophy reminded him of the punk attitude. He moved to Japan in 1993 where he began studying Zen with an iconoclastic rebel Zen Master named Gudo Nishijima. In 1999, Nishijima made Brad his successor as a teacher of Zen.
