About Bradley Hartmann & Co.

BRADLEY HARTMANN is one of the most sought-after thought leaders in the construction industry today. He has written 15 books and hosts The Construction Leadership Podcast and The Craft of LBM Sales Podcast—both among the most popular in the construction industry.

Hartmann advises leaders of LBM dealers, distributors, and manufacturers across the country and trains thousands of commercial and residential construction leaders annually through his executive coaching and consulting, online training programs, custom workshops, and keynote speeches.

Having worked in lumber yards, trained as an apprentice carpenter, built more than 1,000 homes, and consulted with commercial construction firms for more than a decade, Hartmann has a unique perspective on how the industry builds—with, and against, each other.

Hartmann’s passion is bridging language gaps—between buyers and sellers as well as between English and Spanish speakers—to develop stronger teams in the construction industry, so that we can all build more efficiently, safely, and profitably.

Bradley was a quarterback at Eastern Illinois University, graduated from The University of Illinois with a degree in Spanish, and later earned his MBA.

He teaches at Texas A&M University, University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University.

Hartmann lives near Dallas, Texas, with his wife and two sons.
