Since the age of 13, Bradford shared a passion for and love of history with others in a multitude of settings.  While living in Delaware, Virginia, and Georgia, Bradford has marched, drummed, camped, and charged in films, reenactments, and education presentations from steamy St. Augustine, Florida, to brisk Fort Niagara, New York.  Reading voraciously and inviting others to connect with the past has been a great joy.
