Bradley Eli, M.Div., Ma.Th.

Raised in the great outdoors of Montana, Brad's at home with horses, camping and farm life.

While putting a Petroleum Engineering degree to work in Alaska's oil field, he studied Engineering Management and enjoyed Alaska's rugged outdoors. Catholic from birth, Brad began devoting more time to reading the Bible, prayer and volunteering at Covenant House Alaska, an organization that cares for runaway kids.

At 26, Brad left his occupation to follow a religious vocation with a start-up Franciscan third order community in Connecticut. After completing his seminary studies, Brad taught high school math, science and religion in addition to helping run Catholic summer camps.

After 22 years the religious community ended, so Brad began working as a writer and associate producer for ChurchMilitant.com. Three years later he married a devout Catholic, and God has blessed the couple with a son.
