Power control specialist by day. Outdoorsman on the side. Help us congratulate Brad Host on his 20th anniversary today! 🙌
Brad, power control specialist in St. Cloud, is genuine, friendly and willing to help anyone who needs it. He's knowledgeable about his job, knows products and understands how things work.
He also knows a lot about hunting and fishing and loves the outdoors. You might even find him roughing it on a campsite out west in the mountains or the wide open country.
Congrats on 20 years, Brad! 👏
