Brady Bean admits he's a little different.  He walks around the halls with his great friends, entertains himself with useless talents such as catching candy in his mouth, and plays with fire all the time.

 "Everything seems to be much more entertaining once my medicine wears off," Bean said.  "That is about midway through sixth period."

Brady Dale Bean was born on May 30, 1988, in Monahans and the world has never been the same.  His parents are Roy and DeeAnn Bean, and he had one sibling, Ashley Lawless, 21, who graduated from Monahans High back in 2002.

Brady participates in shooting sports, band, and PAL.  In his sport of shooting, Brady's event is the 22 rifle, and last years he went to the State Finals.

"My best memories of MHS are...um...everything in band except for marching and playing, " Bean said.

Bean attends the First Baptist Church of Monahans and he is very active in the youth group.  In fact, he met his current girlfriend, Lauren, at church camp this summer.

Brady is not a morning person, and he likes dogs much more than cats.  His favorite food has to be ice cream, and he likes to enjoy the wonderful treat when he watches his favorite movie Batman Begins.

His favorite book after much contemplation, is Banner in the Sky.  Brady's plans for the future are to go to Hardin Simmons University on a band scholarship, and later on he deeply wants to go to South Africa for mission work.

His favorite saying is, "I'm Winston Churchill," and "you don't even know, you don't even know!"

Brady Dale Bean might be an ADD band nerd, but he is a very funny, good guy.
