Bio
Josh McWilliams
Bryan is a tremendous asset to any organization or individual he encounters as he brings high energy, vision, passion, and the ability to execute to the table in everything that he does. I had the pleasure of working with Bryan as a colleague for many years on "Startup Weekend: Evansville", a large entrepreneurial weekend event that Bryan co-developed, managed, and grew over nine years to be the largest event of its kind in Indiana. I was continually impressed by Bryan’s program management, leadership, and problem-solving ability to push through roadblocks and continually create an incredible event on time and on budget that did so much good for our community. On top of managing the execution of a top-notch event, Bryan’s sense of humor was always present to ease the pressures of the organizing team. Bryan would be a true asset for any position requiring the ability to schedule, manage tasks and people effectively. It is without hesitation that I recommend Bryan, whom I have had the great fortune of calling colleague, mentor, and friend.
