Brad Kaaya Sr. graduated from the University of California-Davis with a degree in Economics. Shortly after graduating, he worked on a movie set as a production assistant and began writing and directing low-budget commercials. Still, it wasn't until he worked on "Sherman Oaks" and later "Mad TV" that he started his writing career. Brad wrote, among other TV and Film projects, "O," starring Mekhi Phifer, Julia Stiles, Elden Henson, Martin Sheen, and Josh Hartnett. Brad occasionally still writes. However, now spends most of his time growing Mixed Chicks®, a hair product company he co-founded with Wendi Levy-Kaaya (wife) and Kim Etheredge.
