Autorenporträt

Brad Kuich was born in Oyen, Alberta. His paternal grandparents, Mary and Joseph Kuich, homesteaded on the farmland that his parents farmed. Brad attended school in Oyen but was a farm kid influenced by a rural lifestyle and the hard work of farming. In 1975, he joined the RCMP, serving as a dog handler for most of his career in communities in British Columbia and Manitoba. Brad also assisted with many investigations within Western Canada, the Yukon, and northern Ontario. Many of his experiences are captured in his first book, Hag'em: Memoirs of a Police Dog Handler. Despite leaving his hometown at a young age, Brad remains connected to his roots. He kept his grandparents' homestead and often travels back to reminisce, especially about the challenges faced by his grandparents and other homesteaders who persevered to break the land in the early 1900s, transforming the prairies into the productive farmland that continues to grow food to this day. Brad retired from the RCMP in 1997. He lives in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia with his partner, Kathy. Together, they enjoy their children, grandchildren and border collie.
