A graduate of Henry Clay High School, Class of 1981, Bryan distinguished himself as a four-year letterman in wrestling.

At Oklahoma State, Bryan competed at a high level in wrestling, played pickup basketball with Barry Sanders, worked as a bouncer, and spent time at The Tumbleweed with then up-and-coming musician Garth Brooks. It was also during this time that he met the love of his life, Connie. Bryan went on to earn his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Oklahoma State University in 1989.

He was deeply committed to his clients and their broodmares and was widely respected for his expertise, work ethic, and compassion. Above all else, Bryan loved his family, his work, and all animals.
