He served two tours in Iraq as an MP (Military Police) Sergeant before being injured by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) that resulted in the loss of both legs and his left hand. He was awarded a Purple Heart and spent over a year rehabilitating at Walter Reed Hospital. Bryan's story has received extensive media coverage including features in Esquire Magazine and articles in major publications, such as LA Times, New York Times, and Chicago Sun.
