A dedicated athlete, Brady has been a member of the East Liverpool Varsity Tennis Team since his freshman year. He has earned three varsity letters, was a district qualifier his junior year, and received the team’s Grand Slam MVP award in the same season. He is expected to once again lead the program as the number-one singles player in his senior year.

Beyond the classroom and tennis courts, Brady is highly involved in school activities, contributing to the Academic Challenge Team, Robotics Team, Yearbook, Outdoor Adventure Club, and Booster Club. In 2024, he proudly represented East Liverpool High School as a delegate to Buckeye Boys State, gaining valuable experience in leadership, public service, and civic engagement.

Brady’s commitment to service extends to the broader community through his involvement with Boy Scout Troop 2041.

Last summer, he worked as a Camp Counselor at 7 Ranges Scout Reservation, leading activities and teaching merit badges to younger Scouts.

In addition, Brady regularly volunteers with service initiatives across the region, including the Veterans Appreciation Day Picnic, the Angel Tree gift program at First Free Methodist Church, the Salvation Army, and the St. Clair Township Memorial Day event. He has assisted with cemetery flag placements and contributed to community improvement projects at Thompson Park, the YMCA camp, and the Seven Ranges camp.

After graduation, Brady plans to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering, where he hopes to continue using his skills in problem-solving, leadership, and community service to create meaningful impact.
