In his college years, Bryan loved playing basketball with his dear friends and teammates, “The Ultimates”. He was a dedicated Hawkeye fan who bled black and gold. He also had a love for numbers and math. Bryan spent much of his time watching sporting events, following politics, and reading about presidents.

The most important thing to him was his family.
