Brady has acted as a Commissioning Agent for over 30 projects, ranging from stand-alone health-care facilities, to high-end restaurants. Working in the Commercial, Multi-family and residential building sectors, he is familiar with a multitude of sustainability rating systems.  He has also been contracted by the City of Austin, acting as a consultant to help design teams of large scale developments such as The W and Fairmont Hotels, meet the progressive energy standards set by the city.

A “maker” and progressive thinker, Brady is a hands-on engineer.  He has his own woodshop where he produces furniture and fashion accessories from salvaged wood.  In his free time, he competitively plays the world’s sport (soccer) and also is passionate about music and its ability to create powerful waves and influence lives for the better.  Prior work experience includes an internship at the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems for Pliny Fisk and Gail Vitorri, preceded by a brief stint in the Oil and Gas industry (as most Texans do).
