Born and bred in Seattle, Bryan attended Pacific Lutheran University, and Washington State University where he received his bachelor's degree in Broadcast Communication. He began his television career in 1984 working in the cafeteria at KIRO-TV in Seattle. He finally got his break in 1986, in the form of a job at KTVM-TV in Butte, Montana, where he would round out the station staff, making it an even dozen employees. Five months later he began his tenure at KIMA-TV in Yakima, as the station's sole promo producer. Eleven months and three weeks later he took a job as a promo producer at KGW-TV in Portland, Oregon, where he spent the next ten and a half years of his career. It was during this time that he also had the sweet gig of being the station's movie reviewer, known as Bryan the Movie Guy. In 1998 Bryan decided it was time to come home and accepted a job as the senior producer in the creative services department at KOMO-TV, in Seattle. In 2006 he returned to his roots and became the senior promo producer at KIRO-TV. It only took a little over twenty-one years to come full circle. He is the author of two books, Inside the Warped Minds of Men and JP Patches: Northwest Icon, written several nationally syndicated radio dramas and written for the numerous magazines and websites. He has won ten EMMY® awards, three PROMAX Gold Medallions (the highest award in TV promotion) and a few other awards that you wouldn't really care about. Bryan is married, with two children.
