Fredrick “Fred” Bradford was born in Tucumcari, New Mexico, but spent his childhood on a small Colorado farm near Mesa Verde National Park. Fred graduated Valedictorian from Cortez High School and went on to the University of Colorado at Boulder as a Boettcher Scholar. He earned a BA in Chemistry from CU, an MBA in Operations Research from the University of Denver, and a Doctor of Jurisprudence with honors from the University of Texas at Austin.
For the past 32 years, Fred has practiced law in Galveston, Texas. His leisure travels through Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas are a source of inspiration and materials for his artwork. His many interests include golf and the Colorado Buffaloes, from which he has chosen the name of his business, “Buffalo Customs”.
