Bryan is a Pacific War and Indochina Wars battlefield historian, and the founder of WAR HISTORIAN BATTLEFIELD EXPEDITIONS.

His grandfather was a US Army combat infantry veteran of the Pacific War. He first visited the battlefields of the Pacific War in 2010 when he traveled to Okinawa for the 65th anniversary of the battle to follow in the footsteps of his then recently deceased grandfather. On this trip he accompanied a group of Battle of Okinawa veterans. Bryan is a firm believer that the only way to understand and study a battle is to walk the ground. Only by experiencing the terrain and conditions firsthand by standing on the invasion beaches, humping through dense fetid jungle and up rugged kunai grass hills, sweating in the tropical heat, getting soaked by tropical rains, walking into needle-sharp “wait-a-minute” vines, crouching in the foxholes, and examining the relics of war can one truly understand these remote battlefields. He is fortunate to have walked these far-flung battlefields with veterans of the battles. Even though the Pacific War and Indochina Wars are the focus of his battlefield guiding, his military history expertise and interests are broad. For well over a decade, he has worked as a historical producer, historical consultant, and re-enactment coordinator for film and media projects for major museums and television. Notable projects for: Museum of the American Revolution, George Washington's Mount Vernon, American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, Jamestown Settlement Museum, Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. When not on the battlefields or on a film set, Bryan is in archives researching, interviewing veterans, or reading and writing about military history.
