About Our Speaker
Brad Kiendl is the founder of Ashdown Capital. After working for a Canadian bank, as well as a large international bank, Brad developed an in-depth understanding of bank credit approval processes, enabling him to tailor deals for each bank's respective credit approval department. Further, he developed a thorough understanding of the pricing structures of individual institutions, and its relationship to risk, and uses this knowledge to initiate negotiations at the appropriate price point. 

In working for the banks, he realized that his passion was for enabling his clients' successes, rather than increasing bank profits. It was this realization that inspired Brad to found Ashdown Capital. Now, Brad is able to solely be an advocate for his clients, instilling confidence that they have negotiated the most advantageous financing solution for their business or project. 

Brad calls Langley home with his wife Melissa, and their son, Hudson. He is currently the President of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, and he was instrumental in getting the Chamber's U40 event series off and running. Outside of work, Brad plays men's league hockey and football, and he is a low-handicap for hire for Texas scramble tournaments.
