Getting To Know Bryan (by Craig)

Bryan is the most hardworking person I know. Whether being a Dad to our son, in his career, or working in the yard, he gives it 100%. He is generous and kind and gives so much to others, never asking or expecting anything in return. Always willing to lend an ear, Bryan is the person who everyone goes to when they need advice. I’ve seen Bryan calm his nieces down when they are crying, help guide them through difficult situations, and be a role model for them. 

After working for years with youth as a swim team coach, Bryan now works in the Oncology division of a Biotech company. Helping patients who have been diagnosed with cancer is his passion. Bryan is able to work from home most days and has a flexible schedule which means he can make his family the number one priority. 

Athletic by nature, he has run a few marathons and competed in triathlons. His boundless energy has earned him the nickname “the Energizer bunny.” Bryan brings this same energy to his role as a father. I love seeing Bryan play with our son as they chase each other around the house, roaring like dinosaurs, kicking or throwing a ball outside, and making each other laugh. Bryan has a great sense of humor whether he is doing his superman impression or walking down the imaginary staircase behind the couch. Bryan loves to make people smile. He has an uncanny way of connecting with others and can talk with people like they are old friends.  

How can you not love a “Bryan Hug?” They make everything right in the world at that moment. Connor and I are so lucky to have Bryan in our lives, and I know he will make an excellent father to another child.
