Hey there, my name is Brian, and I am in pursuit of a degree in secondary education. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts, traveled a bunch growing up you would have thought I was the son of a military parent, sure wasn't though. I spent most of my childhood between Maine, Massachusetts, and Colorado. I attended Mitchell High School here in Colorado Springs where I was a five sport athlete as well as a four year member of the AFJROTC award winning program. After high school I joined the United States Marine Corps and unfortunately my career was cut short due to an unforeseen medical condition. 

Upon discharge, I became a student coach for the Women's Basketball program at Lamar Community College. As our president stated, life throws you curves and I had a couple knuckleballs I swung and missed early on in life and spent the rest of my twenties learning from mistakes and growing as a man as best a parentless boy could do. I started my adult journey a little rough but I managed to get a hold of it quickly and became a cajun trained chef in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. There I worked my way to being a kitchen manager as well as working various catering crews. After returning to Colorado I spent four seasons as a concessions supervisor at Coors Field and other sporting and concert venues. 

Now back in school I fill in when I can at concerts as security as well as CC hockey games. When life gives you lemons, you gotta make some lemonade. I will do what it takes to keep you motivated on your path to your goals and dreams. The key to success is being able to learn from mistakes and keep moving forward in life. Some of the hardest times in life will make some of the strongest people you will ever meet, remember that everyone is taking a different walk in life and are going through different mountains and valleys. So, treat others with kindness and respect everyone's situations and do your best to offer an ear to listen and respond with a positive solution when needed.

Greetings! My name is Bryce Murphy and I was born in Stockton, CA and raised in Elko, NV. My upbringing was in a small town that originated as a truck stop and evolved into a place that remains relatively obscure. Following high school, I found myself pondering my life's direction. After a year of soul-searching, I made the decision to join the Army.

My training took place in both South Carolina and Georgia. Following that, I was stationed at Camp Humphreys in South Korea, where I spent a year before being relocated to Fort Riley, KS. Upon completing my service, I embarked on a period of frequent relocations – from Texas to my hometown and back again. Eventually, I settled on my educational path and chose to pursue my ambitions in Colorado.

After arriving in Colorado and establishing my new life, I commenced my journey towards a Bachelor of Innovations degree in video game design. My academic pursuits are centered at Pikes Peak State College, where I am committed to completing my degree. I also am currently a work-study for the Military & Veteran Program where being a work-study keeps me busy. I also just volunteered my services to serve as treasurer for the Student Veterans Organization. I can’t wait to start working with students/veterans in the community and help everyone be successful in whatever way that I can help!
