As a military brat growing up, Bryan got the chance to move across the country and around the world before his family settled in the Florida panhandle while he was in high school. From there, Bryan attended Emory University in Atlanta, GA as a psychology major and mathematics minor. 

Bryan began his work in education as a member of the Match Corps at Match Charter Public High School in Boston, MA and participated in the founding year of their Teacher Training Program (now known as the Sposato Graduate School of Education). After completion of their program, Bryan was hired as a geometry teacher at Newark Collegiate Academy in Newark, NJ where he has worked for the past 11 years. Bryan currently teaches both AP Calculus AB and BC.
