Founder and CEO of SpeakerMatch
Bryan graduated from The University of Texas at Austin and received an Ed.M at Columbia University. in trying to build market share for his business technology consulting firm, Bryan saw the need for somewhere non-professional speakers could find speaking opportunities.
