In his younger years Mr. Bradshaw worked on the oil rigs in the winter and farmed in the summer. In the mid 1980s he obtained his commercial pilots' license (he got his private license in 1972) and started aerial spraying to diversify his farm. By 1998, the spraying business had grown larger the anticipated. Since no one would add an extra day to the week, Mr. Bradshaw rented the farm and concentrated on cutting his losses in half.
 
Mr. Bradshaw has always been very involved in the community. He has participated in a number of venues, including the town council for Carrot River, Fire Department, Pasquia Park board, Arborfield Dehy board, Boy Scout Leader, Carrot River United Church Choir, plus other entities too numerous to list. Provincially, Mr. Bradshaw is past President of the Saskatchewan Aerial Applicator Association and past Director of the Canadian Aerial Applicators Association.  Additionally, Mr. Bradshaw served on the founding board of the Northeast Early Childhood Intervention Program.
 
Mr. Bradshaw was first elected to the legislature in the 2007 provincial election.  Mr. Bradshaw is currently a member of the caucus' Standing Policy Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs and Justice and is also a member of the legislature's Public Accounts Committee and the Standing Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs and Justice.
