Growing up in Pensacola, the Cradle of Naval Aviation, Bryan's life has always revolved around flying.

"This is an incredible opportunity that I am honored to be a part of, from the "ground up" so to speak. The beauty of the Rocket Racing League® and Extreme Rocket Racing is the fact that this type of event is not only an entertainment venue. The league and my team hope to help further the technology and piloting skill sets required to take space tourism from science fiction, into science fact."
