He was President, CEO and Chairman until 1986.
Bradt has served on the faculty of Lehigh University, teaching courses in entrepreneurship, business policy and strategic management in the Masters of Business program. He was Executive in Residence at Cornell's Johnson School teaching policy, strategy and leadership in the MBA program. From 1994-98 he was Director of Human Services in Northampton County, Pa.
