Bio

Brad Everett graduated from the University of South Florida in 2007 with a degree in Computer Science and received his Masters of Divinity from the Interdenominational Theological Center in 2023. After college, Brad was hired by InterVarsity as the Black Campus Ministries staff at USF-Tampa where he assisted the USF chapter in accomplishing its purpose of establishing and advancing at colleges and universities witnessing communities of students and faculty who follow Jesus as Savior and Lord: growing in love for God, God's Word, God's people of every ethnicity and culture and God's purposes in the world.  After two years in this position he was appointed the Team Leader for the USF chapter where he led a leadership team of 70 students reaching 200 students yearly. He served as InterVarsity’s Area Director of Tampa Bay where he planted the Suncoast Area and developed staff to reach every college and University Campus in Pinellas and Hillsborough County. He also served as InterVarsity’s National Associate Director of Black Campus Ministries (BCM) where he led organizational efforts to grow the quality of ministry to black students and faculty at majority institutions and historically black colleges/universities nationwide. He now serves as the Regional Director of the Southeast, managing and guiding the work of 25+ staff in 6 states.

On a more personal note, Brad is a painter and spoken word artist. He has been writing poetry for 12 years.  His writing began by including poetry in his visual art.  This love for writing grew and he soon found himself writing spoken word poetry as a hobby which naturally grew into a serious expression of his art.  His early writing and reciting of spoken word poetry was part of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA's worship team on the USF Tampa campus.

He has participated in mission trips in Africa, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and the Phillippines.  He has served as the Board Chair Underground Network, a Christian nonprofit and church, and on the Mission Integration and Community Affairs board for St. Anthony’s Hostpital in St. Petersburg, FL.

Brad’s life’s calling is to inspire and lead Reconciliation, first to God and then to each other.
