“I didn’t come here to participate. I came here to dominate.”
Brady Neal graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2005 with a finance degree, setting course to become a corporate banker. After working in the financial industry he quickly recognized his entrepreneur drive and setting behind a desk working others dreams was not going to work. He had an opportunity to take a leap. He took a leap into a business venture with his mother-in-law and his wifeSarah in their first year of marriage! Together, they turned the franchise opportunity around and received the most improved franchise out of 1200 franchises across the country.
The writing was on the wall for the 2008 financial crisis and a decision was made to put the business up for sale. After the sale is when life took on an unexpected turn. Brady answered the calling to serve his community as a police officer.

Brady spent only three years on the street and quickly moved into investigations with a focus in financial crime. Brady had the incredible opportunity to serve on a United States Secret Service Federal Financial Crimes Task Force for the majority of his career at the Norman Police Department.
In 2014 Brady began to experience that entrepreneurial pull again and started what he thought would just be a side hustle in the Oil and Gas Industry. CORROSOURCE was founded and began manufacturing a tool used for corrosion monitoring on oil and gas pipelines. Over the next few years the business expanded from one tool to over nine tools all while still being a full-time detective at the police department. A recent division of CORROSOURCE that was launched in 2018 is WellSiteSentry. WellSiteSentry provides emergency response and risk mitigation services on oil and gas well sites. The side hustle had become a real-live company and brought on employees, experienced growth and still serves the oil and gas industry.
