The ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values.” About Myers & Briggs

Bryan is active in freelance design. He specializes in advanced functions of the Microsoft Office Suite, notably Excel and PowerPoint. His template, graphic, business card, postcard and website designs have been known to make one weep, gasp, or toss coins in ovation. No one, and I mean no one, writes a meaner vlookup. Random Fact #54Improv Shakespeare exists. And Bryan’s done a lot of it.
Suit the action to the word…
After acting in LITTLE RICHARD, A PLAY ABOUT A HUMP at the American Globe, Bryan was invited to improvise Shakespeare for a sold-out crowd on April 23, the Bard’s birthday. People flipped, and soon NimprovYC was formed, a long-form improv troupe that gained a reputation for Improv Shakespeare. Their weekly gig was in the small space at the famed Irish Rep, directly across the street from the Upright Citizen’s Brigade. Random Fact #78The Short Bus. In elementary school Bryan was accepted into a special class for the “gifted and talented,” which meant he needed to travel to a special school far away from home. To facilitate said travel to said special school, Bryan was forced to ride on a special bus. The short bus. 4th Grade was a tough year.
You’ll get yours, Jeremy.
The large stick figure to the left was Jeremy Witkins, who terrorized my poor friend Brian (not me) on the soccer field more than once during 4th grade. He would run up and assault him, yelling, “Nerds, Nerds, Nerds!” in a grotesquely overdeveloped 5th grade cro-magnon voice. Poor Brian. What rebuttal could he possibly have had? TeacherBryan is a dedicated and passionate student of acting. He now privately coaches, guiding professional and developing actors of all ages, empowering them towards their greatest potential in performance, audition or rehearsal. Drawing on an extensive theatrical background, Bryan marries attentive script analysis with impulsive behavioral work, igniting active, dynamic performances from his clients.
Seriously? Who’s that guy? Thank you, Dr. Huberman.
In college, I would sit open- mouthed in the front row in my Theatre History class, enthralled, as my professor delivered fire and brimstone sermons on the necessity of reading. His mantra, YOU GOTTA KNOW PLAYS, is now rooted so deeply in my brain that I assume everyone knows. Appreciate legacy. Learn from the greats. Aspire to stand on the shoulders of their words. 
Random Fact #33Pumpkins are not your friend. In college, one of the great superstitions of our theatre was that tragedy that would befall anyone who spoke the word PUMPKIN on stage. Why? I don’t know. But it was a theatre ritual to be upheld, like spinning around three times and spitting if you say Macbeth. (Umm, which you shouldn’t say, by the way. What are you, an *sshole?) Well, six months later, I forgot. Said pumpkin. On stage. And then I learned. Pride goeth before the fall.
It was Opening Night of my very first lead in undergrad, the Gilbert & Sullivan musical RUDDIGORE. I was proud, cocky. I said pumpkin. And during a wild musical number in Act II, I fell right off the stage. Yep. From 20 feet in the air to splat on the ground behind the set. Broke my left hand, too.I somehow finished the show, and as I was on my way to the hospital, I looked down and noticed my hand in a bucket of ice: a pumpkin bucket… 
Random Fact #91Bryan had Three (3) Rules when he was 17. 1. Don’t stand me up. I will come to your house and find you. Well, Bryan has now completed two marathons and one triathlon. Those rules were stupid anyway. And do people still use the phone to speak? Just text if you need to flake. Ciao, Loser.
My first marathon was on the cobblestoned streets of Florence, Italy. By mile 21, I was so ragged that I needed to sit down. Bad idea. My entire body seized up, and I limped the last 5 miles. Around mile 24, broken and bloody and giving it everything I could, an old Italian man, probably 96, came running past. He tossed a sad look, shook his head and said, “Bryan… Try.”

Random fact #16Bryan still has a teddy bear. His name is Dr. Feelgood. Laugh it up. Then Dr. Feelgood will kick your teddy bear’s *ss. Don’t be a hater.

You’re not going to put that on your site.’ and B shrugs again! He like, like, he goes like, “Maybe.” So his friend goes, “Adorable. Do you, like, dress him up and stuff?” Haha. Well B goes red, you know? Gets up, pulls out his gat, and goes all, “Hells yes I do. Bitch. What do you do with your teddy bear?“ It was cold, yo. 
ActorTheatre is magic. And I still believe. A simple stage. Darkness. Then an audience, actors and a story Nothing can replace the connection, the intimacy, All the world’s a stage…
Bryan was also a member of his high school Forensics team (Speech and Debate).

“AN ENFP is referred to as THE INSPIRER. ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.
