M.S., Fisheries Science, Colorado State University; B.S., Biology, University of Oregon. Position with USGS: Fishery Biologist, Western Fisheries Research Center, Columbia River Research Laboratory, Cook, WA.

After his undergraduate degree, Brady worked as a research assistant in the Zoology Department at Oregon State University doing immunology, and molecular and cellular biology. After getting his masters degree, Brady began working at the Columbia River Research Lab doing a large radio-telemetry project at a Columbia River hydroelectric facility. Brady is currently working in the White Salmon River (WA) conducting a watershed-level study on Rattlesnake Creek, a major tributary to the White Salmon River, to document fish assemblage, abundance, and habitat relationships as a forerunner of the planned reintroduction of salmon and steelhead above Condit Dam. He is also involved in another telemetry project documenting trout movement and habitat use on the White Salmon River.
