His nominator wrote, “Bryan has demonstrated the character and qualities that you look for in both a leader and employee. His proven knowledge and skills not only directed his own growth, but fostered trust with his EGRMC patients, coworkers, and physicians.”

"We are proud to recognize him as an alumnus of Ogeechee Technical College and to present him with this year’s award.”
