His research interests are HIV/AIDS prevention in racial and sexual minorities and other infectious diseases. Bryant also received his Bachelors of Science degree in General Studies, concentrating in Health, Family and Human Development, and Sociology at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX.

His passion for public health came to existence when he was in the Master of Social Work program at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In his professional and personal life, he noticed there huge health disparities among marginalized communities such as lack of nutritious foods, alcohol/substance abuse, an increase in Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and little to no access to healthcare and social services. After completing some public health courses, he made the transition from social work to public health.
