Brad
Moody.
Chair of the School of Digital Media Production at Daytona State College. Apple Distinguished Educator. Blackmagic Design Certified Trainer. Twenty years spent building the programs, labs, and curricula that turn students into working image and sound makers, and a parallel practice making the same kind of work himself.

Brad Moody's path runs through a broadcast design studio in Saratoga Springs, an MFA in Electronic Arts at RPI, three years teaching applied media in Sharjah, and eight years building the American University in Dubai's Digital Media major from single digits into one of the fastest-growing majors at the university, before landing at Daytona State College, where he now chairs a school of four programs inside the Mike Curb College of Music, Entertainment and Art.
