ABOUT

Early Life

Bryan's story begins in the Bronx, born to Dominican parents who were the pillars of hard work and aspiration in his life. His mother, a small business owner, and his father, a university teacher, worked tirelessly to provide for their family. They were the heart of Bryan's world, showing him the meaning of hard work and the importance of dedication. However, as crime went up and prices soared, they moved slightly outside the city to give Bryan and his sister a chance at safer streets. This move, while promising, meant Bryan's childhood was spent visiting his family in the West Bronx on weekends and day's off in order to keep his Dominican roots and family ties alive. This stark reality of having to choose between staying amidst familiar surroundings or seeking safety and education elsewhere deeply influenced Bryan's perspective on equity and justice.

Standing Up Against Injustice

Bryan's commitment to justice has always been at the forefront of his work, and when tragedy strikes, he steps up for those who need it most. This was evident in the heartbreaking case of William Figuera, a man whose life was unjustly cut short. In the aftermath of his death, disturbing footage showed an investigator sifting through Figuera’s personal belongings, a shocking violation of basic human dignity. Bryan was deeply moved by this injustice, refusing to stand idly by. He quickly organized a community fundraiser, raising $2,500 for William's family to help them through such a difficult time. This act of compassion wasn’t just about financial support — it symbolized Bryan’s unwavering belief that no family should face injustice alone, and that every life deserves dignity, respect, and honor.

For Bryan, standing against injustice is more than a principle; it’s a lifelong commitment to his community and to anyone who finds themselves marginalized or wronged. Whether it’s through his legal work, advocacy, or direct support, Bryan is always ready to take action when it matters most.
