Meet the ROC USA Pod Squad
Paul Bradley
Chief Executive Officer
Paul founded ROC USA in 2008 and serves as the organization’s CEO. In 35 years of work with resident owned communities, Paul has heard hundreds (if not thousands) of inspiring stories from people involved in the resident ownership movement. Ownership Matters was his idea – he loves sharing some of the powerful stories he’s heard throughout his career with people across the country via the podcast.
Mike Bullard
Vice President, Communications
Mike joined the ROC USA team in 2012 and serves as VP of communications. He has visited more than 100 ROCs to take photos, meet with residents, and hear about how resident ownership is helping homeowners across the country improve their communities. Serving as co-host on Ownership Matters gives Mike the chance to share those successes and hopefully provide a few laughs.
Jayda Ragas
Executive Assistant
Jayda joined ROC USA in 2022 and currently serves as the Executive Assistant. Her work with the ROC Association in particular has introduced her to many amazing residents in both a virtual and in-person capacity. Jayda is happy to serve as executive producer on Ownership Matters and always looks forward to publishing the next inspiring story!
