During his two years at St. John's, the athletic communications office produced over 200 live events with multi-camera production quality, on-screen graphics and instant replay. Bryan also produced, edited and distributed over 100 video features and blogs.

Prior to St. John's, Bryan worked in media relations for the NFL's Carolina Panthers during the team's run to the divisional playoffs in 2008. That season, he set up player interviews with regional radio networks and contributed to the team's weekly press release.

Bryan also worked as a research associate for Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journal in Charlotte, N.C., as well as a media relations volunteer with the NFL's New York Jets and Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Fla.
