Meet Our Sole Men
Christian Bradley
Christian Bradley has served in the Talent Acquisition and Human Resources space for well over a decade. He is the founder of Fly 4 the Low, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping men dress efficiently and affordably through charitable and monetary donations, empowering them to better prepare for job interviews and the workplace.
In addition to his professional and philanthropic work, Christian also leads a boxing fitness boot camp, promoting health, discipline, and community through fitness.
A proud Cincinnati native, Christian is also the father of an amazing daughter, Olivia, who is entering her senior year at the University of Cincinnati, where she is majoring in Public Relations.
Mike Daniels
Mike has served on various boards and committees and as an ambassador for charities across the Greater Cincinnati region for years. His voluntarism with Cincinnati Cancer Advisors began a few years ago, with a renewed passion for the fight against cancer. Having lost friends and family members to a cancer diagnosis, counting numerous survivors among them, his steadfast commitment to help fund the fight hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Mike began his storied career in residential and commercial property management 17 years ago, having transitioned into sales and investments of his own. With a well-rounded education under his belt, he attended nursing school at the University of Cincinnati’s prestigious BSN program before obtaining his business degrees. Outside his daily responsibilities, Mike enjoys traveling and attending car shows such as the Concours d’Elegance, NetJets Hangar Party, and numerous Cars & Coffee gatherings around town. An aficionado of supercars and hypercars, getting together with fellow enthusiasts of performance and luxury highline vehicles serves as a welcome escape from the daily grind.
Mike has several family members in nursing including his sister, who pioneered the breast cancer navigation program at the Barrett Center. The pilot program was so successful as a non-billable service that it was integrated into the Epic software with the help of the IT department and expanded across other cancer types. Never losing his bedside manner that was cultivated in nursing school, Mike’s overarching goal in life is to touch as many hearts as possible and to leave this earth a little bit better off than he came into it.
