Grady received his MFA in writing from Lindenwood University in December 2011. He has had pieces accepted by Poetry Quarterly, Haiku Journal, Four and Twenty, and Three Line Poetry. Grady's poem "a life" was chosen by the 2013 St. Louis Metro's Poetry in Motion contest which is part of the Metro Arts in Transit program. He has written a chapter (The Boones, Settling Femme Osage) for: "Missouri River Country; 100 Miles Of Stories And Scenery From Hermann To The Confluence" (Missouri Life, 2013).
Grady is married to Lynn Youngblood (also a writer). They live on twenty-four acres of wooded hills with their dog and two cats. When not working or writing, they love to spend their time admiring their granddaughters and grandson.
