About Your Host
Welcome to Our Town
Hi, I'm Brad
As the CEO and Publisher at Local Umbrella Media, I’m dedicated to connecting communities through local publications and digital marketing. Inspired by The Go-Giver by Bob Burg, I believe in creating abundance through service and celebrating the incredible people around us.
Hometown Heroes La Mesa is my way of spotlighting the extraordinary individuals who make this community thrive—whether through their inspiring stories, businesses, or contributions to the area. This initiative is about building connections and honoring the heart of La Mesa, one story at a time.
As a longtime San Diego resident, I have a deep appreciation for La Mesa’s unique character. From its vibrant downtown village and local businesses to its strong sense of community, it’s a place that truly feels like home.

Most Marketing Feels Like Noise
If you’re a realtor or small business owner, you’ve probably been told that you need to market yourself more—post on social media, run ads, ask for referrals. But let’s be honest… it’s exhausting, expensive, and often doesn’t work.
The real problem? People do business with those they know, like, and trust—but traditional marketing doesn’t build real relationships.
Hyper-Local Engagement That Works
Brad specializes in connecting realtors and small business owners with their local communities in a way that feels authentic, meaningful, and engaging—no pushy sales tactics required.
Done-for-You Marketing with a Personal Touch
Through custom and semi-custom publications, Brad helps you position yourself as a trusted local authority. Whether you’re a realtor or a business owner, your brand will stand out without you having to do all the heavy lifting.
Amplify Your Visibility Without Extra Effort
Most businesses struggle with getting noticed. Local Umbrella Media's approach ensures that your audience spreads the word for you, leveraging highly shareable content and strategic partnerships within the La Mesa community.
The Farm for Free Program – Marketing That Pays for Itself
Brad connects realtors with local business owners through his Farm for Free program, where everyone shares in the cost of printing high-quality community publications. That means you stay top of mind in your target neighborhood—without the heavy financial burden.
