Bryan was born in Zambia to Irish parents. His first taste of real success was winning the Junior Rowing Championship of Ireland as an 18 year old. He was then selected to row for Ireland in 1980. Having joined the British Army, he gained a place at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst before winning the opportunity to serve with the elite 2nd Gurkha Rifles.

Bryan served with Gurkhas all over the world for six years and this included operational experience. He left the Gurkhas in 1990 and spent a year in Nepal leading climbing, trekking and white water rafting expeditions. He then took a team of Gurkhas to Africa to work on a diamond mine in Angola. When the mine was overrun by UNITA terrorists, Bryan and his team were taken into captivity. Released after three days and flown to safety in Namibia, Bryan returned to war torn Angola within two days and took his Team back with him.

Following on from his experiences in Africa, Bryan embarked on a career in sales, initially as a sales man and then as a sales coach. During this time, Bryan developed his ability to measurably develop both attitude and skills. He established Tailor Made Training Ireland in 2001. His Clients now include The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Standard Life Assurance Company, the Lloyds Banking Group, Sporting Teams, Public Sector Businesses and SMEs.

Bryan is a member of the Institute of Directors and a business mentor for the Princes Trust in Northern Ireland.
