Dr. Christopher Thornberg likes to be called one thing: right. Founder of Beacon Economics in 2007, he gained fame as the only major West Coast forecaster to predict the subprime crash and the global recession that followed. Since then, he’s nailed the V-shaped post-pandemic recovery and the inflation surge.

Under his leadership, Beacon Economics has become California’s go-to source for sharp, actionable economic forecasts, impact studies, and policy analysis for businesses, government, and nonprofits.

A UCLA Anderson Ph.D., former MBA instructor, and senior economist with the Anderson Forecast, Dr. Thornberg is a dynamic speaker who challenges tens of thousands each year to question assumptions—and see the economy the way it really is.

Over the past 17 years, Gene Deering has closed more than 1,150 transactions totaling over $1.6 billion, alongside Radius partners Bob Tuler and Paul Gamberdella. In 2022 alone, the team led the South Coast market with 26 sales and 67 leases—spanning more than 640,000 square feet and $295 million in value.

A former college athlete, Gene’s relentless drive and leadership fast-tracked his rise to Senior Vice President in 2017 and Principal in 2018. He launched his commercial real estate career at CB Richard Ellis in 2004 before bringing his competitive edge to Radius.

Since 1979, Steve Golis has dominated the Tri Counties market for residential income properties. Over 42 years, he’s closed more than 14,000 multifamily and commercial units, with over $1 billion in sales in the past decade alone—making him the undisputed leader in Santa Barbara County and the Central Coast.

Steve’s career is decorated with top honors, including the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors’ Jack Kelly Award for Most Challenging 1031 Exchange (2013, 2018) and the Howard C. Gates Achievement Award for Standout Sale of the Year (2018)—the first commercial broker to earn this distinction.

Since joining Radius in 2002, Brad Frohling has closed more than $900 million in local commercial real estate sales and lease transactions, with deep expertise across retail, office, development, and industrial properties throughout the South Coast. He entered commercial brokerage in 2000, representing private investors and executing multiple off-market deals that delivered strong returns in the Santa Barbara market.

Before real estate, Brad played a key role at Oakley Corporation, overseeing the Eastern United States and doubling his division’s sales from $8 million to $16.5 million in just three years—while helping launch new product lines in footwear, outerwear, and optical products.
