Bryant grew up in Columbus, Ohio, just a stone’s throw away from the ‘Sho’e. As a child, he enjoyed crunching numbers while watching the Buckeyes beat up on some hapless opponent during football season. At BYU, Bryant received the Heritage Scholarship for his outstanding achievements during high school. He played two seasons with BYU’s lacrosse team, winning a National Championship in 2007. He joined IDeA Labs when the season ended, with plans to graduate in 2009 with a degree in mathematics. He is currently researching inventory control and options pricing, and hopes one day to be able to learn something that is not already known. Following the completion of his work, Bryant left IDeA Labs and joined IMPACT Program in May 2008, the year it was founded.
