Phil Bryant

My name is Phillip A Bryant Jr, I was considered an Orphan of the State due to the death of both my parents before the age of 18.

I am currently a student attending Bowling Green State University majoring in Sales and Service Marketing with a minor in Entrepreneurship.

I am an active member and player for the BGSU Men's Rugby Club as a Varsity player since 2014 and Team Treasurer for two consecutive years.

Outside of college, I am a Young Adult Ambassador, Group Facilitator, and Board Member of a non-profit organization called Companions on a Journey (http://companionsonajourney.org.) This organization has been a saving grace in my life from dealing with the grief of my parent's death to reaching out to other friends and youths in my situation.

The awards and recognition I have also received through high school and college include:

·Ohio U.S. House of Representatives Accolade for “Outstanding Citizen”

· “Hope, Strength, and Healing Award” Recipient 2013

· 2013 Cincinnati Enquirer “Most Inspiring People of the Year”
