After undergoing open-heart surgery at the age of one, Bryan has grown and matured into quite a young man. He loves music, movies, girls, participating in Special Olympics, and watching hockey and baseball. He has been involved in Special Olympics since age eight and has served as a torch bearer at State Summer Games in two states, Illinois and Arizona. He has competed in swimming, basketball, cycling, track and field, and of course bowling. Bryan being chosen to go to Ireland to bowl was the catalyst for this book.
He is now employed at the work center at TCH, the Center for Habilitation,and enjoys carpooling to work with his dad and recieving his check every other Friday. Bryan has returned home to live with his parents and his sister temporarily. His stay at his own home was short-lived due to staffing issues, although he personally adjusted well and really loved it. His goals are to live independently from his parents and land a job in the outside world. A return to future World Games is certainly not out of the question.
