When I had my amputation, I sought out MWAGA because I wanted to play again so badly after being laid up for almost a year prior. The look on someone face when they realize they can still play golf is one of my favorite things”. Brad is the Midwest Trustee for the National Golf Association and the Vice Captain for the 2020 Phoenix Cup team representing the USA.
When Bradley isn't playing golf, he enjoys his time with his family doing a lot of other activities. Brad lives in McHenry IL, with his wife Heidi and children, Brooke and Tyler.

Jonathan Snyder, Vice President

​Jonathan was born in Charlotte NC in 1981, He grew up as quite the athlete, excelling in all sports, especially basketball, he played AAU basketball all through High School. Jonathan was different, He was born with an undeveloped left hand. When Jonathan was 22 years old he started playing the game of golf regularly. It has since become his passion. It became such a positive therapy for Jonathan. He started at Red Bridge Golf club on the Cart Staff as a volunteer for zero pay. He worked his way up the ranks from Assistant Golf Professional, Event Coordinator, Head Golf Professional, to General Manager of entire golf club. 

​The only thing better than Jonathan's golf game is his attitude about it. “I always keep a positive attitude & try not look at the negative things” It does not take a pro to realize he isn’t just talking about golf. In 2018 Jonathan accepted the Adaptive Golf Director position at Freedom Golf Association. Teaching Golf & giving Lessons is now his passion in life. Since becoming the Director of golf operations Jonathan has created a model that has provided record number of Adaptive golf lessons, putting FGA on the forefront of Adaptive golf lessons in the United States & recognized as the largest provider of Adaptive golf lessons in the United States.
