Brad Hollenbeck's daughter, Lynn '83, took pity on your secretary and e-mailed a note about Brad. After graduating from Columbia School of Architecture and starting his career with a NYC firm, Brad moved to East Hampton, New York. A drive from Hampton Bays to Montauk will reveal over 1,000 homes, hotels, motels churches, gas stations and stores designed by Brad to meet the needs of this resort community. In his spare time he sings with a'local barbershop chorus and has sung in local community theater productions. He has recently cut back on his architectural practice to focus on his watercolor painting.
