                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 13, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I rise today in 
order to recognize Brian Brady of Grand Junction, Colorado. Brian is a 
gifted young man whose dedication and entrepreneurship are a credit to 
his community. Today, I would like to pay tribute to his efforts before 
this body of Congress and this nation.
  As an active member of the Grand Junction community, Brian serves on 
a variety of local boards and works with many organizations including 
three of the largest and most active organizations in Mesa County: the 
Rotary, United Way and the Mesa County Crime Stoppers. Brian's company, 
Brady MicroTech, creates and maintains websites and is currently the 
Webmaster of the Gene Taylor's Sporting Goods website, in charge of 
everything from the creation of their online catalogue, to taking the 
photos of the store and maintaining customer relations. Brian has a lot 
on his plate, especially for a young man who is currently a senior at 
Central High School in Grand Junction.
  A few years ago, Brian and few other young men, Ryan and Rob Cook, 
and Daniel Davis, approached a local radio station about a teen issues 
program. The radio station gave the boys an opportunity to broadcast 
their show, which became an amazing success. Currently, the show airs 
every Tuesday night from nine until ten o'clock and gives local teens a 
platform to discuss everything from local issues to the concerns on the 
mind of today's teenagers.
  Brian is a true asset to the people of the Grand Valley, not only for 
his work with teens, but also for his contribution to local 
organizations and businesses. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that 
I recognize this capable and gifted young man before this body of 
Congress and this nation. His dedication to community service is a 
credit to Mesa County and the entire State of Colorado.
