UD EP13: Just Do Something

Brad Langerak was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Mi. Blessed to be raised in a Christian home in a community filled with like minded Christian people with high family values. Brad became involved in the church’s many teen ministries including camps and mission trips to Tennessee and New York. Most of Brad’s school friends were also friends from church.

When Brad graduated from High School he decided to go into the skilled trades and became an electrician. He has spent most of his entire career in the electrical industry from working in the field to the office to getting into sales. During all the times working for others, Brad has always had an entrepreneurial spirit.

Brad married at a young age and became a father at 23. The pregnancy was a difficult one that ended early causing the loss of one of his identical twin sons and the other fighting to stay alive. God blessed Brad with his son Hayden through this. Hayden having CP had many struggles however God used Hayden to touch and impact many lives including Brad’s. Today Hayden is happy and healthy, 25 and married to his wife Angelica.

In 2004 Brad and his family moved to Colorado to seek better opportunities. Unfortunately, due to many struggles, Brad’s first marriage ended in divorce in 2008. At this difficult time, Brad’s desire to grow his relationship with God grew stronger. His journey with God led him to find his current wife Traci who he married in 2012. Traci came with two beautiful daughters, Mackenzie and Tatum. At the time they first met the girls here just about 2 and 4. It’s been a true blessing for Brad to have the opportunity to raise these two now teenage (14 and 16) young women.

Currently, Brad is self-employed after leaving his full-time job in January to run his two software companies Hamata Systems and ConX-USA. Brad also spends a great deal of time running a non-profit he helped start, Dads of Castle Rock Community Outreach. His wife Traci is also on the board for a separate non-profit and together they resented started their own non-profit called Hamata Cares. Brad loves to serve the community with a God centered and driven heart! If you are in Castle Rock, you can find him on his page Godly Men of Castle Rock or Dads of Castle Rock.
