Brady was born and raised in Zanesville, Ohio. As an undergraduate, he took a double major at Ohio University College (OU) of Business, earning B.B.A. degrees in both business/pre-law and finance. He attended OU on a scholarship, was consistently on the dean’s list and was accepted by Sigma Alpha Lambda Fraternity, a national leadership and honors organization. Brady then attended Ohio Northern University College of Law on an academic law scholarship, earning his J.D. degree as well as awards in insurance law and business organizations. He handled domestic relations cases at the law clinic while in his third year at Ohio Northern University.
Upon graduating from Ohio Northern University, Brady moved to Florida. After passing the Florida Bar exam, he obtained employment as a trust officer and in-house legal counsel with a Trust Company located in Venice, Florida.
In 2014, Brady became the sole principal owner of Isphording, Bechtold & Sharrer, P.A., where he actively took on new clients and served the clients of his predecessors, focusing on estate planning, as well as trust and probate administration.
In 2019, Brady made the decision to merge his legal practice with the Farr Law Firm. Doing so allowed him to allocate more time to serve his clients, as well as avail his clients to the vast resources and services the Farr Law Firm has to offer, including knowledgeable attorneys with a focus in alternative practice areas. His priority continues to be the needs of his clients, carrying out the promises his predecessors have made to longtime clients, as well as providing the same to new residents of Sarasota County.
