Bradly Long was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio. After experiencing a not necessarily happy upbringing, he married his high school sweetheart. Bradly graduated with a Bachelor's in Business Administration from The University of Toledo, Ohio, and began a career as a Certified Public Accountant in public accounting. Bradly and his wife moved to Los Angeles, California, where he began a career in the entertainment industry as an accountant. Bradly fulfilled his dream of working in entertainment, culminating in a career with DreamWorks SKG, before retiring from his accounting career. After Bradly and his wife relocated to Los Angeles, he came out of the closet, acknowledging and declaring his homosexuality. After Bradly and his wife divorced, he began his journey of living as his authentic self. While on his journey, Bradly began personal therapy, which led him to obtaining a Master's in Clinical Psychology, and becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. During Bradly's life as a gay man, he's navigated gay culture which at times can be unforgiving, as well as conquering a drug addiction. Also, Bradly has been fortunate to have had two wonderful relationships. Both of which have ended with the death of his partners from AIDS and alcoholism, respectively. Bradly is a mass of contradictions. All of which are true. But which holds the most true is the love for all of his dogs. And he is resilient. Bradly is survivor of whatever comes his way. Currently, Bradly is retired and living a quiet life in Central Florida with his dogs, Herbie and Esther Hoffman.
