Brady was nominated as the 2018 IBEW Journeyman Mentor of the Year. Brady has passion for being a lineman, for the industry, and a drive to make his mark on the world. When Brady’s close friend was killed on the job, he began to pour his energy and emotion into helping other countries abroad. It was the start of his dream, and he has a motivation in his heart that gives him purpose.
In Brady’s words, this work “makes me feel like brotherhood isn’t just a fancy term we see on a sticker or on a t-shirt, but it is a process of caring for others. My perfect future looks like a time when we can go to bed at night knowing there’s not a vast chasm of safety between workers in the developed world and workers in the places that are trying to develop.”
