He has worked as a teacher and administrator in intensive english programs both in Japan and in the United States as well adult and continuing education programs for non-profits and community colleges.
• Bryan was president of the Colorado Adult Education Professional Association from 2006-2007 and currently serves as vice-chair of the Lafayette Public Library advisory board. He holds a B.A. in History from Boise State University, an M.A. in Applied English Linguistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a certificate in TESOL from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed the Leadership Development Certificate Program with the TESOL International Association.
