Background

About Brad Rivelli

I have been into drawing and painting since I can remember. Drawing most anything from memory or imagination has come as natural to me as breathing and it was always considered a hobby rather than a serious employment option, thus I have worked in the manufacturing/ construction industry for most of my life. This has taught me many facets of business that one would not necessarily associate with the above mentioned. Furniture design, sketching. I am currently working on a children's book, along with my oldest Daughter Amber. I am doing the illustrations while Amber is writing the story. It is about.oh shoot I almost let the cat out of the bag. LOL, you will have to wait and buy a copy. I have also spent some miles driving over the road, tractor/ trailer. In doing so met many great people, saw many wondrous things, and got to become very good friends with myself. I went to school for Marketing in the Broadcasting business where I actually learned my customer service skills, and my selling abilities. We were expected to host our own weekly radio show on the College channel, I was the "God Father of Rock" for three hours a week. And we had to venture out the community and visit businesses with the intent on selling air time on our College radio station. Pretty sweet right? Let me tell you, 90% of the area couldn't pick up our station on the radio and didn't know we existed. That was tough, but I did it and I found out I was good at it. After selling specific amount of blocks of air time, I would then get any specific information the business desired and the type of person ( gender, age, race, health, etc.) or business they were looking to reach. With all the necessary information I would go back to the production studio and write, produce, mix, edit and finally have a few options to offer the customer. Then after meeting once more with customer they would chose a commercial and it would hit the air waves. Good times.
