About the author
Brad McMurrey, B.S., M.A., C. Phil. For over 30 years Brad participated in and led system, software, research, and marketing projects of all sizes including multimillion dollar projects that involved decision making at the national level. During that time, two of his main interests were romantic relationships and personal/career success. He collected and studied all the information he could find on those subjects including lessons learned at work. He observed countless mistakes made (including his own) in romantic relationships and on the job. People may have learned or heard how to find and have a good relationship or how to perform work-related functions, but Brad realized that it’s not information or knowledge that really counts but the actions taken at the appropriate time. This led him to organize and condense the comprehensive amounts of material he had about relationships, personal improvement/achievement, and work-related functions into the specific actions you must take to find and build love and personal/career success. The result is the books The Love Ladder, The Success Ladder, and the combined book The Love and Success Ladders Combined. Brad is retired and lives in Carlsbad, California, with his wife of 10 years.
