Ernesto Herrera has been a key operational leader at Restoration House Inc., managing critical renovation and infrastructure projects for more than two decades. His deep involvement in maintaining the facility and supporting Adrienne Taylor’s entrepreneurial ventures has made him an essential part of the organization’s sustainability. As a respected BIPOC leader, Ernesto plays a central role in the peer-to-peer management model that defines Restoration House’s culture. His insights will be valued during the upcoming construction of single room occupancy (SRO) units for clients living with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI).

Bradford (Brad) was born and raised in the mid-Atlantic, and most of his 30 years of professional business management experience focused on the financial service industry in Boston, MA. Brad received his MBA (emphasis on non-profit management) from the University of Massachusetts in 2017. He moved to Portland, OR, in late 2017 and began a non-profit business consulting firm.
He has been the Director of Operations and Development at Restoration House, Inc. for seven years. He serves as the Music Director at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church in Seaside, OR. Brad is also the Treasurer for two other nonprofits, Elevate Unity, Inc., and North Coast Products, Inc., both 501(c) (3) registered organizations.
Brad’s professional and creative focus embodies four disciplines: business development, music, visual arts, and literary expression. All represent the focal points of his creative development and are uniquely interwoven to produce abstractions based on his life’s experiences, education, and previous solutions. A musical performance, a painting, a business consultation, and a written creation are all born out of equal passion, and the mosaic of their interaction depicts humanity and a wide range of spiritual and ethical expressions.
Brad brings substantial business management, life experience, and regulatory expertise along with a creative passion to guide and support Restoration House, Inc.’s values and mission.
