First and foremost, Mr. Bradley, is the proud and loving father of three sons, who are all in their thirties now. He is also the doting grandfather of two beautiful grandsons.

In 1984, Mr. Bradley completed his diploma in welding, metal fabrication and C.N.C. (Computerized Numerical Control) machining and milling.

After college, Mr. Bradley went on to work at Georgetown Shipyard, taking part in the construction of two Canadian Coast Guard ships.

In 1986, his father passed away, and at the age of 25, Mr. Bradley went on to work in the family construction business.

In 1987, he went on to work in the Carpenter’s Union, where he quickly rose to the top of his trade as a carpenter, where he supervised and managed many large construction projects. These projects included playing a large role in the construction of the Confederation Bridge, serving as the general foreman overseeing dozens of workers and many trades in the drop-in girder fabrication portion of the Bridge. During this time, Mr. Bradley excelled in his position where he had to often design and fabricate different applications, and designs that played a vital part in the Bridge construction.

A few years after the Bridge was built, Mr. Bradley went on to forming his own construction company “Do-It Now Construction Inc.”, specializing in the restoration of Island heritage buildings and homes.

Around 2010, Mr. Bradley was injured and was forced to dissolve his company and had to lay off his crew. When Mr. Bradley was able to get back to his trade, he kept things much smaller, doing most jobs on his own, or with the homeowner assisting.

Volunteering

Mr. Bradley has spent a lot of his free time helping others who are less fortunate. Volunteering with: Scouts Canada, his church, S.A.F.E. (Sober and Friendly Environment), interim president with the Hunter River Watershed group, helping and mentoring the youth in his community, Para-Cycling, co-ombudsperson with Green Party PEI, founder of the Great Green Blood Drive in 2019 with Canadian Blood Services, has been a regular blood plasma donor four times a month for many years.

Interests and Hobbies

Mr. Bradley enjoys hiking and cycling, and anytime he can spend swimming at our Island’s beautiful beaches. He truly enjoys spending time with his grandchildren.

Politics

Mr. Bradley ran for town council for the Town of Stratford, once in the mid-90’s and the early 2000’s. Even though did not win a seat on council, he continued working on behalf of the community. He worked diligently attempting to convince the provincial government of the day, to erect a pedway on the Hillsborough Bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Candidate Statement:

I bring decades of working with people to get things done, including in voluntary positions and in my career in the construction industry. Problem solving is where I thrive. I have been at the top of my game, and also well aware of how it feels to be at the bottom and finding the strength and ability to pull myself back up no matter how hard the fall. I believe it's important to never think you have all the answers, and to never be afraid to ask for help or advice. I believe we need to see more of this in the Legislature. I believe it's time the government put people ahead of building roads and their other big pet projects. Finally, I bring my natural ability to listen and learn, and to always show compassion to my adversaries.
