Brad Field is a Calgary success story. He moved to Calgary as a child and realized early the opportunity this city offers. He grew up in the S.E. Calgary area of Bonavista, not far from one of his favourite places in Calgary - Fish Creek Park. He met his wife Sheryl in 10th grade at E.P. Scarlett High School. They married in 1988 and raised their three children here, Haley, Kyle and Mitch. A big hockey fan, Brad was - in younger years - a Junior A hockey referee - not bad experience for a Mayor to have! Brad is a 2004 graduate of the MIT Entrepreneurial Master’s Program, and was nominated in 2008 as a “Leader of Tomorrow” by Business in Calgary Magazine. Enjoying the outdoors and physical recreation, Brad has hiked with his son to the Everest base camp, and also ran the route of the original Greek marathon. Now that the kids are grown, Brad and Sheryl live in the East Village.
