• President of Bradley E Pierce, LLC - This is Brad's business entity that handles all things Brad - acquisitions, asset holding, consulting, speaking engagements, etc. - you name it - if some business activity isn't handled by any of his other companies, it's likely handled through this one.
   
• President of Pierce International, Inc. - This is Brad’s first business (it was originally called Central Computing Co., Inc. prior to a name change many years ago).  He founded the company at the age of 13 while attending Maitland Middle School.  Originally, this company focused on selling new computer equipment. This company now focuses solely on technology acquisitions, software development, and online web development.
  .
• President of Pierce Aviation, Inc.  - Brad founded this company due to his passion for aviation, which he developed immediately following his high school graduation. Brad originally planned on building this business as his primary career. Unfortunately, this business suffered several setbacks, which slowed its development in the past. The first setback happened when Brad was forced to crash-land an aircraft with mechanical difficulties that he was piloting for a volunteer medical organization over the swamps of New Orleans. Shaken, but unharmed, Brad continued building the aviation business one-year later when he entered the aircraft acquisition and leasing business. The second setback happened when 9/11 wrecked havoc on the aviation industry and made the aircraft leasing business much less profitable. The current focus of the business is to provide executive aircraft charters.  The long-term goal is to be able to provide these charter services on a nationwide scale once all the necessary FAA certifications are in place for such an operation.
  .
• President of Pierce Investigations, Inc. - Brad founded this corporate private investigations company after experiencing trademark and intellectual property theft issues with one of his other entities.  He is a state-licensed private investigator and the company itself is a state-licensed private investigative agency.  While the primary focus of the business remains trademark and intellectual property issues, the company also has experience in other issues such as extortion, domain name issues, fraud, background investigations and risk management issues.
  .
• Principal of Woodbine Leasing, LLC - This company focuses on intellectual property ownership which is then leased to other companies.  The company currently owns a United States Patent for an E-commerce Business Model.  The name "Woodbine" comes from the material you dig through to reach oil.  Woodbine Leasing has a proven business model for reaching the woodbine in the online world which leads to a positive ROI in e-commerce ventures.
   
• Principal of Palladium Air, LLC - This is company leases corporate aircraft under part 91 of the FAA regulations.  The name "Palladium" comes from the word describing the statue of Pallas Athena (the one upon which the safety of Troy depended).  The word "Palladium" has come to describe anything that provides safety and protection.  The aircraft operations at Palladium Air, LLC operate under stringent procedures to ensure the the utmost safety for the aircraft occupants.  Palladium Air, LLC currently operates out of Orlando Executive Airport (KORL).
   
• Magazine columnist and public speaker. The huge amount of media exposure for Brad's e-commerce business paved the way for him to become a magazine columnist and public speaker. Brad is a staff columnist as well a guest columnist for a number of industry publications. His writing focuses on technology, although he has written articles on a number of other subjects as well.  He has made public speaking appearances at numerous events.  He has spoken to both small and large groups, including those featuring the senior management of numerous Fortune 500 companies.  One of Brad's most interesting speaking engagements was having the honor of testifying before the US Senate regarding export issues to help increase global trade for the United States.
