Brad DeFauw is a Software Engineering and Data Coach at Multiverse. Brad shares his journey from teaching math and computer science in high school to coaching apprentices at Multiverse, giving us a glimpse of the impact his career transition from education to tech had on his life and what this job means to him.

From Teaching to Coaching at Multiverse: Brad’s Story

I was born and raised in Venezuela and in the year 2015, my brother and I made a big leap and moved to the US. I finished my last two years of high school in Miami, FL and once graduation was over, there came the big question: “What now?” College was never something I envisioned for myself; I wanted to go the non-traditional route of finding a professional path that allowed me to feel fulfilled. But, as someone who did not have it figured out at seventeen (at all), I started working in the food service industry for a couple of years, to make ends meet. Then, I found myself working in the realm of event production for different Latinx TV networks where I got the chance to produce many live shows and award ceremonies. During each of these “careers,” the idea of college never became more appealing.
