Brad(he/him) is a Clinical Research Coordinator/Substance Use Navigator for UPenn’s Center for Addiction Medicine and Policy. He self identifies as a former IV opioid user who is nearing a decade free of illicit opioid use and considers himself the luckiest guy in the world. Brad spent 5 years working with a non-profit MOUD program on Kensington Ave and really pushed long acting injectables, eventually getting 40% of their MOUD patients on long acting injectable Buprenorphine. Brad is an animal lover and loves making music of multiple genres.  They do not take their recovery for granted and every day recognizes just HOW lucky they are. This remains one of the driving forces behind their drive to help others get on their individual path’s toward their own recovery. Brad will never forget how bad opioid withdrawal is and tries to help others avoid this and show that there is another way.
