Bryan is a graduate of the University of Florida (B.S. in Industrial Engineering). In high school, he was a member of the National Honor Society and voted Most Likely to Succeed.[2] Although he is now a full-time writer, Bryan was a computer professional for over 20 years.[1][3] In trying to get published he was rejected over 200 times.[4] He lives with his wife, Susie, and two of their seven children in western Tennessee.[3] One of his daughters, Amanda L. Davis, wrote Precisely Terminated, Noble Imposter, and Viral Execution, three books in the Cantral Chronicles series.
Bryan began to focus on writing fantasy after having a dream about a boy who breathed fire. Eventually this grew into Raising Dragons,[5] his first published work of fiction.
