Bryan was born and raised just outside of Baltimore, Maryland, and has long held a deep appreciation for the history and landscapes of his home state, particularly Maryland's Eastern Shore. Following a distinguished forty-three-year career in government service, he returned to a lifelong passion for storytelling, kindled when he began drafting his first novel as a high school student.

A devoted family man, Bryan treasures time with his loved ones and also maintains a carefully curated collection of Star Wars memorabilia. His fiction introduces readers to journalist Mike Quade and the enigmatic angel Dominique, with further adventures in their world forthcoming.
