About Brad

Brad Hall is a storyteller in the truest sense—curious, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the power stories have to connect us.

His career spans television, digital media, live events, and community leadership. From Emmy-winning documentaries to helping a local school navigate communication during the COVID crisis, Brad brings clarity, care, and purpose to every story he tells.

Unlike many young kids in the ’70s who idolized superheroes, Brad was captivated by the quiet power of storytelling—drawn to the steady, unflashy journalism of 60 Minutes. Every Sunday night, he’d sit in front of the TV, absorbed by stories that were deeply human and real. Those reports didn’t just inform him—they inspired him. Where others his age dreamed of donning capes and saving the world, nine-year-old Brad quietly envisioned doing it by telling stories that mattered. That early passion quietly shaped the storyteller he would become.

Fresh out of Emerson College in Boston, where he earned his degree in Mass Communication, Brad began his professional journey at Bunim/Murray Productions (of The Real World fame), the pioneering company that reshaped nonfiction television by blending raw unscripted moments with authentic, emotionally resonant storytelling. There, he learned to find the human core in every scene, a skill that proved essential as he moved into major network newsrooms at FOX and NBC. In these high-pressure environments, Brad sharpened his editorial instincts, learning to bring clarity and integrity to complex, rapidly unfolding stories. He discovered that even the smallest human moment—a glance, a pause, a tremble in the voice—could carry immense meaning, and he learned to seek out and protect those moments.

Building on this foundation, Brad later co-produced The Teen Files with legendary documentary filmmaker Arnold Shapiro. The series tackled everything from teenage addiction and violence to gender identity and sexuality, approaching each subject with honesty, depth, and compassion. It earned two Primetime Emmys and was honored with the Governors Award—the highest distinction bestowed by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, given for using the medium of television in the most powerful and profound ways.

Throughout his career, Brad’s storytelling journey has taken him deeply into lives and experiences that few ever witness. He’s heard confessions from lifers inside maximum-security prisons, followed U.S. Marshals as they chased fugitives through the frozen Alaskan outback, and sat quietly with grieving parents who lost sons to gang violence. He’s eaten rattlesnake with survivalists in the swamps of Arkansas, told the stories of relocated Iraqi POWs adapting to life in small-town America, and has even steadied wigs for drag queens as they stepped on stage and into the spotlight.

More recently, Brad produced Newlyweds: The First Year, an 8-hour series for Bravo TV documenting the very real reality of first year marriage. He also produced Born Behind Bars, a 10-hour series for Lifetime Television following incarcerated mothers raising their newborns inside prison, offering unprecedented access to an emotionally complex and often overlooked world.

Brad’s work has always been grounded in a quiet commitment: to honor what’s genuine, and to share it in ways that connect. That principle—formed early, sitting cross-legged in front of the family TV watching 60 Minutes—became a throughline in his career. He understood even then that the power of storytelling wasn’t in spectacle, but in its ability to illuminate what’s human and create something real—something you can feel.

Years later, the spark ignited by 60 Minutes came full circle when Brad was invited to help produce a segment for the very show that had first stirred his imagination—this time, a story on California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. As he stood in the rotunda of the State Capitol, he felt the quiet weight of that moment: the journey from a curious kid on the living room floor to a storyteller standing in the place where decisions are made and stories unfold. It was a reminder that the instincts that shaped his work had also shaped his path. Because, in the end, a life—like any good story—is built one meaningful moment at a time.

Today, Brad continues doing what he’s always done—listening closely, looking deeper, and telling stories that stay with people. Whether producing a national broadcast or helping an organization share its message and strengthen its community, he approaches each project with honesty, respect, and a focus on what matters most. For Brad, storytelling is a way to connect—person to person, experience to experience. In a fast-moving world that often overlooks the quiet moments, he’s committed to capturing them—because stories really do have the power to stir hearts, shift perspectives, and leave an indelible mark.
