Rock on, Brad...
Get to know Brad Whittaker, who is the director of the Commission for Economic Development in Utah County. Brad has been involved in Economic Development for over 25 years – 13 of them employed at CEDO and another 12 years as a volunteer. In fact, he got involved in economic development by being a volunteer board member to CEDO. What can we say, once ED gets in your blood, you just have to have it.
Brad was born in Milford, Utah and has lived in Utah all of his life. He has a BS Degree in Business & Industrial Technology and is also an Investment Advisor Representative. Before working for CEDO, he worked for Utah Power/PacifiCorp for 28 years. His favorite economic development project was putting together a Business Resource Center and Technology Center to mentor start-up businesses.
Brad is married and has 5 children and one grandchild. The last book he read was “Think and Grow Rich”. And here’s a fun fact about Brad, he plays in a 60’s rock band. Next time we are looking for entertainment for one of our meetings, we’ll know where to go.
It’s great to have Brad in our ranks.
