"I grew up with a dad and grandfathers that were skilled craftsmen and hard workers. I've always loved working with my hands, tools and wood!
ARTIST | PROP BUILDER | HANDYMAN
BRAD GOLDEN
Growing up alongside hardworking mentors instilled in me invaluable skills, an extremely strong work ethic, and a deep respect for integrity and pride in one’s craft. My early passion for art led me to school majoring in Graphic Design before serving four years in the Marine Corps. Afterward, I had the privilege of working with renowned brands, delivering marketing and advertising solutions throughout my career.
In 2017, my love for Halloween sparked a new creative venture: producing The Halloween Harvest Costume Ball. Over the course of a year, I designed and crafted an array of intricate props and decorations, which led to being introduced to the talented creative team at the Winchester Mystery House, in San Jose, CA. For the past five years, I’ve contributed to their Halloween Tours, creating props, decor, and animations. This experience reawakened my passion for hands-on craftsmanship, leading to the creation of HANDY BRAD—a natural evolution of my skills and dedication to helping others.
