Fun Facts about Brady: He participated in #MustacheMay and seven months later was ranching with a full handlebar. Brady’s year started out with a big win at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo that set him up for success. He has been working towards a WNFR qualification since 2014. In 2014 he finished 34th. The next year he missed it by one spot. Then he was 20th and 19th. Not only did he make it this year, he will start the competition in fifth place. His father Ty was a bull rider that rode the famed Yellow Jacket at the Columbia River Circuit Finals. His mother Samantha ran barrels so growing up weekends were full of rodeo. While he watched them growing up, it is now their turn to watch Brady compete on rodeo’s biggest stage.
