Bryan is one of the most outstanding individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He has always been an amazing team player and always goes above and beyond what's required. When he sets his sight on his target, they always get accomplished. He has done countless volunteer programs and I do not know anyone who has played a bigger role mentoring younger students. He has always been a reliable person that always gives 110%. He's the type of guy who would drive 2 hours out of his way to help a friend out. I know this because he did it for me. I've had the pleasure of working with him during numerous volunteering activities and on campus events. Bryan would be a valuable asset to any team.
