About Brad Stroh



Introduction

Brad Stroh is a financial expert and entrepreneur who maintains a firm dedication to helping others, illustrated by both his company's client-facing services as well as the company's dedication to its employees.

Employment Background

Brad Stroh created Freedom Financial Network with his close friend and business partner Andrew Housser. From the very beginning, the company was created with the idea of building a culture that puts employees and clients above all else. Stroh has a firm belief that, "If we take care of our employees, our employees will take care of our clients, and the rest will take care of itself." The results speak for themselves - the company was rated one of the five best places to work in the Bay Area in 2008 by the San Francisco Business Times and one of the top 15 best places to work in the Phoenix Area that same year, according to the Phoenix Business Times. Stroh worked to create a close, family-like atmosphere with Freedom Financial Network employees, conducting community projects and providing staff with the same thought and attention that is extended to the company's dedicated client base.

Innovative Business Model

Brad Stroh not only crafted a strong business vision with Freedom Financial Network, he led that vision into reality and managed its growth into a strong, stable company. Freedom Financial Network has averaged a triple-digit revenue growth rate in the last few years and currently serves over 40,000 customers. The innovation behind Stroh and Housser's business model comes from taking an industry that was extremely fragmented, with a handful of small, inefficient operators, and turned it into a business with significant investments in infrastructure, technology, and people to create an efficient organization that provides consumers with the ability to get out of debt and avoid bankruptcy. Back in 2002, Housser and Stroh saw that consumer debt was growing to unmanageable levels and that consumers needed an alternative to bankruptcy. The economy has worsened since then, which has greatly increased the need for these services, and Brad Stroh has been able to apply his unique business revelation to assist struggling individuals.

Conclusion

In addition to debt resolution services, Stroh focuses Freedom Financial Network's efforts on financial education. This educational focus not only helps free Freedom Financial Network customers from their debt burden, but also teaches them how to avoid similar financial pitfalls in the future. Stroh states that it is the poor state of financial literacy in American that is largely responsible for the mess we are in. People made bad decisions not because they lacked intelligence, or were bad people, but because financial education is a subject rarely taught in school, regardless of whether you are a high school grad or a PhD.
