After that, he attended Stanford Business School where he co-founded a company that built real-time marketing technology to help restaurants drive customer traffic during low traffic times.

When not working, Bryan loves spending time with his wife and three kids in Austin, TX, and endeavoring to find the ultimate breakfast taco.
