Michael Brady, CFP®, CRPC®
Executive Director and Chief Planning Officer
As Executive Director and Chief Planning Officer at Brady Family Wealth, I work closely with the families we serve, helping them navigate financial decisions with clarity and confidence. Whether it’s planning for retirement, supporting aging parents, or setting children up for the future, I’m here to make sure their plans support what matters most.
I’m a Certified Financial Planner™ and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor with more than a decade of experience guiding clients through life’s transitions. My background includes working with professionals in high-pressure careers — especially married couples, business owners, and executives — who are balancing multiple priorities and don’t always have the time to manage it all on their own. My role is to simplify the process and provide thoughtful, proactive guidance across every stage of life.
Outside of the office, I’m a proud husband to Shannon and dad to our two kids, Hallie and Preston. We live in St. Louis with our dog, Bentley, who brings plenty of energy and love to our home. Shannon and I both graduated from the University of Missouri in 2012 and met soon after through mutual friends. After a few pandemic-related delays, we celebrated our wedding in September 2020, and life’s been moving quickly ever since.
In my leisure time, I enjoy reading, exploring new recipes, cheering for our favorite sports teams, and cherishing playtime with Hallie and Preston.
What I do at Brady Family Wealth
- I work one-on-one with families to help them make informed decisions about retirement, tax strategy, education planning, and everything in between, with a plan that supports their goals across generations.
- I stay closely connected with the clients I serve, acting as a consistent point of contact and sounding board as their lives and priorities evolve.
- Alongside my work with clients, I help grow the firm by building relationships with families who are looking for long-term guidance and a more personal planning experience.
One of my goals in life is to play golf in all 50 states. I’ve got 34 more to go.
I am a huge fan of the Cooking Channel and enjoy seeing all the restaurants across the country showcase their food creations.
I’d love to road trip across Canada coast to coast and see all the wildlife, scenery, etc.
