Name: Brad Childs After MHS I: Went to several colleges, played in a rock band, took drugs, graduated. Then I went to South America, returned and started a Masters in Fine Arts. Got bored and went to work as a graphic designer. Got bored again so I got married, had 2 kids real quick and put my wife through 2 Masters programs. Got bored again and joined a small Internet startup where I became Creative Director while the place exploded in popularity. Shot a couple of commercials and helped take the place to a $33M IPO. Had a third daughter during the same period as the IPO. Worked there as the Internet economy deflated like a cheap beach toy, sending the kids to private schools and going to Mexico once or twice a year. After 9/11, the company closed up shop. Since then, I've been a freelance designer/developer and have taken on the house-dad responsibilities of raising 3 daughters. While at MHS, I would have loved to have had a date with (or been noticed by): Lelah Clague would top that list. Most Embarrassing High School memory is: Most of them, but the one that sticks out was getting busted prom night making out with someone else's date. Most exciting thing I’ve done since I left MHS: Ride the Internet bubble from IPO through bankruptcy as Creative Director of NetRadio.com Farthest away from MHS: Some jungle stinkhole in southern Venezuela near Guyana, Christmas Eve, 1989. Most bizarre place I’ve run into an old classmate: Carrie Noderman after my roommate got into a car accident with her a couple years out of college. Best friend while at MHS: Greg Steenson. The most meaningful moment I have had since MHS: The births of my children. I now reside in: Minneapolis. Here’s what I do on a daily basis: Get kids off to school, drink coffee, work, cook, run the house. Repeat until dead. I have kids?: 3 daughters - Lelah 11; Talia 9; and Marisol 4. I am married?: Yes. Spouse/Partner: Nicole Bates-Childs. She teaches at Arlington High School in St. Paul, which is pretty much inner city kids - the exact opposite of Minnetonka High School. I’ve learned since high school: Idiots rule. Always. What I would like to go down in history for: Becoming dictator of a small Central American country.
