Bryan was born in the plains of North Dakota before moving at a young age to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. After high school in Portland, OR, he spent the next year in Corvallis studying at Oregon State University. Not wanting to acquire debt for a degree in a field of study he hadn’t even declared, he went back to the Portland area and earned his Associate of Arts at Clark College. Tired of the rain and inspired by the Beatles, Bryan decided to follow the sun to Tucson, AZ where he majored in nutrition with a minor in chemistry at the University of Arizona.
It was in Tucson were Bryan first got exposed to coding. Inspired by his friends and convinced that the online marketplace would be as important as physical locations, he learned HTML, CSS, and PHP before turning his casual hobby of styling websites into a series of business ventures.
