Brad Sims



Bradford Huston Sims
September 23, 1953 - January 13, 2007


Brad was an executive officer and gymnastic instructor at Junior Gym Inc for 30 years : 1977 - 2007. After his death Brad's business partners & relatives informed me that Brad had only been a part-time Employee at Junior Gym earning about $14.00 an hour with no retirement benefits of any kind. If you had told that to any of his private or gym clients, they would've asked "are we talking about the same Brad Sims"? Anyone who knew Brad, knows that he would've laughed at that wage. 

In February 2007 I went to the gym to collect Brad's things and was told that there was nothing there that belonged to him. Although his mother, Elizabeth Sims, acted as his accountant & money manager, I expected to find Brad's personal belongings, equipment, and his copies of statements & records. It was clear to me that everything belonging to Brad had already been cleared out by his relatives, who, like Brad, were also partners in the Junior Gym franchise.

Brad started working for Peter Braun at the first Junior Gym location in Los Angeles in 1977. During the early years, Brad created the popular and now widespread "Mommy & Me" classes. Dermot Kiernan also worked for Peter Braun as an instructor for years before becoming the official owner of the gym on Cotner ave. 

When the Junior Gym franchise right was sold to the Kiernan family, Brad was very upset because he and his father had "the first right to buy." He used to tell me that it was supposed to be his gym, that was the plan. 

A lawsuit was initiated with Brad and William Sims as Plaintiff's vs defendants Peter and Judy Braun. A settlement was agreed to and Brad had the option of becoming Dermot's partner at the new 2218 Cotner location. But Brad didn't want to co-own the gym with Dermot and there was a second option offered, something to do with shares in a new company that Peter Braun advised would be a highly profitable long-term investment. I believe that was Yahoo! or Apple inc. Brad accepted the 2nd option, and there were other working agreements made regarding the Cotner ave Junior Gym. 

Brad received a small payroll check with Dermot Kiernan's signature on it, but believe me, Dermot was never Brad's boss. I always knew that little paycheck was bogus, it was a fact. The amount on those checks wouldn't even have paid our rent, and we were never broke until he got sick and his relatives took control of our finances. Brad used to keep cash hidden in the apartment and in the car. After he died, I found $900.00 under the carpet in the car trunk, and another 600.00 under the scarf on our dresser. 

I called Peter Braun in Spring 2007 to ask him for the location/trustee of Brad's retirement account. Mr. Braun said that Brad was only an hourly employee (for 30 years) and he (adamantly) didn't want to get involved. I called his wife, co-owner Judy Braun, in the spring of 2009 to ask again for the location of Brad's retirement account, telling her that I have breast cancer and need to receive Brad's retirement benefits since I am the beneficiary. She said that her husband had just had heart surgery and he didn't need the stress of being asked for information or of being "involved" with the business arrangements between the Kiernan and Sims families. Her advice was to get a lawyer.
