William Bradley Kiltz (born September 2, 1957)[1] is a former bobsleigh brakeman who competed for American Samoa at the 1994 Winter Olympics held in Lillehammer, Norway.
He was selected to represent American Samoa at the 1994 Winter Olympics (since the American territory has the same nationality as the United States) as part of a two-man bobsleigh team alongside pilot Faauuga Muagututia.
