Meet Your Neighbor... Brad Nahrstadt

Today’s guest is Brad Nahrstadt — and his story is one of early ambition, hard work, and lasting love. Brad knew as early as sixth grade that he wanted to become an attorney, a dream that never wavered. In this two-part conversation, Brad shares the inspiring journey that took him from a determined young student to a successful corporate defense attorney. Along the way, he also tells us the wonderful story of how he met his wife — fittingly — in law school.

This is Part 1 of our interview, where Brad reflects on the lessons he learned early on, the people who inspired him, and the path that shaped the life he enjoys today here at Westbrook Village.

Steve Merila — Host, Meet Your Neighbor
As Realtor Steve, I’ve learned that real estate is about more than houses — it’s about people, stories, and the connections that make a community feel like home. That belief inspired Meet Your Neighbor, a podcast where I sit down with the incredible residents of Westbrook Village to share their journeys, passions, and what brought them here.
Each episode is a genuine, easygoing conversation — like chatting over coffee with a friend — that reminds us how special this community truly is. My goal is simple: to help people connect, feel seen, and celebrate the amazing neighbors who make Westbrook Village one of a kind.
