Since moving back to Arizona in 2004, Bryan has become a stalwart member of the community.

He was appointed Chairman of the Design Review (DRO) Board of the community of Gold Canyon. He’s an active Rotarian and Lion, a member of the American Legion and a lifetime member of the VFW. He is on the board of the Superstition Area Land Trust (SALT) and is a graduate of the Citizens on Patrol (COP) of Gold Canyon. He currently serves on the Government Relations Committee of both Pinal Partnership and the East Valley Partnership. In 2007, he graduated from the prestigious Valley Leadership Program (Class XXVIII).

Bryan’s formal education includes a graduate degree in Management from American Military University and an under graduate degree in Aeronautics from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.

Economic development is Bryan’s number one concern in Pinal County. “The current property tax burden and transportation woes are directly linked to the lack of revenue generated by commercial business. It is imperative that we move away from the bedroom community model while we continue to embrace the beauty and majesty of the county. Together, we must bring business into our county, reduce our taxes, fix our transportation issues, and make this a more vibrant, livable community.”

Bryan has been married to his wife, Susie, of Tempe, for twenty-two years. They have three sons ages 17, 16 and 16. Bryan is active in his church and continues to play a role in the Apache Junction/Gold Canyon area and serves with the Apache Junction Boys and Girls Club.
