He has a unique vision and passion that transcends boarders and boundaries as he has not only worked locally, but internationally (in rural Kenya). He has the instinctive ability to look at HIV from the "inside out, as well as the outside-in". This has formed the basis for the work of the organizations. He has been featured in the Chicago Tribune and on Chicago Public Radio for his work and passion to the mission. In December, 2005, Brad was nominated for the National HIV/AIDS Partnership's Preventions Awards.

After having spent the past seven years as Director and Volunteer Coordinator, respectively, of a local service organization, they have left to establish TMI ,to continue this work ,but with a clear focus on prevention. In their commitment to establishing TMI, Brad and Cathy are making the statement that, while treatment is vital to ending the spread of HIV, truly effective prevention must be autonomous of treatment while working in close partnership with treatment organizations. In almost all cases, prevention programs are run under the auspices of treatment organizations, which create an inherent conflict with effective prevention, as witnessed by the need to keep case loads full, and the fact that treatment is more easily quantifiable to administrators. As told by one prospective founder from a healthcare organization, the challenge to prevention is there is no financial return on the investment.
