Career

Bradley began skating at the age of two in the U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills program. His sister and parents were also figure skaters and his sister, Becky, is now a figure skating coach.
From 1996-1998, Bradley competed in pairs with Tiffany Vise.^[1].
Bradley has had an up-and-down career. He had a lot of success as a junior, but was unable to break through the ranks as a senior. He took most of the 2004-2005 season off. He decided to stay around after the 2005-2006 Olympic season. He earned a spot to the 2006 Skate America due to the retirement of most of the skaters who had placed ahead of him at the 2006 National Championships.
At the 2007 United States Figure Skating Championships, Bradley was the surprise winner of the silver medal, finishing ahead of defending champion Johnny Weir. Bradley skated last in the free skate. Following learning he had won the silver, Bradley got back onto the ice and performed a backflip for the crowd.
Bradley went on to the 2007 Four Continents Championships, held at his home rink, where he placed fourth behind training-mate Jeremy Abbott.

Off the ice

He is currently studying business at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and is a volunteer at the Broadmoor Skating Club and a coach at the Colorado Springs World Arena. He hopes to one day coach and open his own business.
Bradley appeared in a commercial for Fuji Xerox with Stephane Lambiel, wearing heavy makeup to appear as an old man. He performed a backflip in this commercial. Due to its popularity, Fuji released a second one explaining how it was done.
