Bryan was a television and video writer/producer for nearly three decades during which he received 11 Emmys along with several other national awards. He is the author of several books and has written for numerous magazines and websites. He was also blessed with being an on-air movie reviewer for ten years--according to Bryan the greatest gig on the planet.
He currently lives in Lake Forest Park, Washington, just outside of Seattle with his wife, two kids and one very large Goldendoodle. He is a devout movie lover, sports fan and avid reader. He hopes the Seattle Mariners make it to the World Series before he dies, and he's still bugged the referees didn't even give the Seahawks a chance to win Super Bowl XL. Bryan bats right, throws right and has a terrible sweet tooth that he believes will be his undoing. His favorite color is purple (which thrills his daughter), he takes immense pride in his Norwegian-ness, and never did learn to hit the curve ball. (According to Negro League legend, Buck O'Neil, it's because they were throwing it right) He had a pretty dreadful jump shot but a surprisingly passable low-post game. He loves prime rib, ice cream and has discovered that asparagus, when prepared correctly, is actually quite good. He'd played competitive softball for thirty years and believes one of the greatest moments in life is when they dim the lights before a movie. Bryan is a mediocre golfer.
