Bart Brady, owner of Squeegee Squad and a dedicated member of the Masons, has built a life centered around helping others. Whether it's through his business or his volunteer work, Bart is driven by a desire to serve without needing recognition. “I was born and raised here, and I want to see this place thrive,” he shares. That hometown pride is a big part of what led him to join the Masons, an organization rooted in values like brotherhood, charity, and self-improvement. His involvement isn’t just symbolic—it’s where his passion lies. “I love being a part of the Masons,” he says. “I wish I had joined earlier.”
Bart’s journey into the Masonic world started through his father, who was a university chemisty professor and served as a quiet example. “He let me find it on my own,” Bart says. When the timing felt right, Bart joined the fraternity, discovering a strong sense of belonging and purpose. Since then, he’s become deeply involved, participating in both the York Rite and Scottish Rite—branches of Freemasonry that offer their own unique traditions and structures.
For Bart, the best part of the Masons is the opportunity to give back. “I love being able to help people,” he says simply. On average, the Masons in the United States donate just over $2.6 million per day to charities! This philanthropic mindset carries over into Bart's business as well. As an owner of Squeegee Squad, Bart sees every job as a chance to make a difference. “We help people every day,” he explains. That’s where Bart’s heart for service really shines. “It’s not just about the job,” he says. “It’s about being there for people when they need it, even if it’s something small.” That attitude has helped build a loyal client base that trusts him not just for quality work, but for kindness and care.
Still, Bart isn’t one to boast. “I don’t like to brag about it,” he says. “I just like to help people.” That humility is part of what makes him stand out. He doesn’t seek credit—he just shows up and does the work, whether it’s helping with Masonic events or making someone’s day a little easier through his business. In fact, one of the things Bart values most about the Masons is that quiet commitment to doing good. “We’re here to support each other, to lift each other up, and to help where we can,” he says. “It’s not about awards or titles.”
Bart also appreciates the camaraderie and structure that the organization offers. “There’s something special about being in a room with people who share the same values,” he notes. “You learn from each other, grow with each other.” His favorite memories with the Masons aren’t about big events or public recognition—they’re about the small, meaningful ways the group comes together to support others. Whether it’s organizing a fundraiser or lending a hand to someone in need, the goal is always the same: to make a difference.
At the heart of Bart’s work is his partnership with his wife, Donna Brady. Bart credits Donna with being his unwavering support system. “She’s been there through it all,” he says with deep admiration. “We talk about everything. She understands why it matters to me, and she’s always encouraging me to keep going.” Their shared values of service and community have strengthened both their marriage and their collective ability to give back. For Bart, Donna’s support is crucial. “Having someone who believes in what you’re doing makes all the difference,” he explains. “I couldn’t do it without her.” The couple’s commitment to helping others is reflected not only in their personal lives but also in the way they approach their work, both in the Masons and in their daily interactions.
As Bart reflects on his work—both with the Masons and through his company—his message is clear: “Do good. Help where you can. Don’t expect anything in return.” In today’s world, where attention often goes to the loudest voices or the flashiest efforts, Bart Brady is a reminder that real impact often happens quietly. His steady, consistent service—rooted in tradition, community, and heart—has left a mark on the people around him.
And for Bart, that’s more than enough.
“There’s something special about being in a room with people who share the same values. You learn from each other, grow with each other.
“I don’t like to brag about it. I just like to help people. I’m there to help others, whether it’s through the Masons or my business. I want to make a difference in people’s lives, even in small ways."
