    Bio
     
    Bryan appreciates the opportunity he gets to work with our best readers and writers in the AP® English program, and he hopes that his charges understand that the high standards he holds them to in the classroom, study hall and the athletic fields grow from this appreciation of the rare opportunity for achievement we have here.

    Growing up in western Massachusetts, he attended both Eaglebrook School and Deerfield Academy. He continued his education at Harvard, where he graduated with honors in English and literature. Following graduation, he returned to Eaglebrook, where he taught English and fulfilled roles as a housemaster and head coach of varsity football, basketball and baseball.
    Bryan and his wife Kim are proud of their four daughters, all alumnae of Westminster: Olivia ’15, Sophia ’17, Alayna ’19 and Isabella ’22. Bryan enjoys spending time with his family, reading, writing, watching movies, all things Batman-related, and playing squash and pickup basketball. He also coaches junior varsity baseball. Bryan and Kim live in a faculty home on campus.
