Bryant and his family moved to the Sioux Falls area in 2010 where his passion for wrestling led him to become the owner and director of Metro Wrestling Academy in 2015. Metro Wrestling Academy works with boys and girls K-12 while aiming to elevate young athletes through hard work, fundamental skill advancement, character growth, and leadership development.
Prior to moving to Sioux Falls, Bryant became the head wrestling coach at Aberdeen Central High School from 2003 to 2010.

While coaching the Aberdeen Central Golden Eagles, Bryant coached four top-10 team finishes, 38 SDHSAA State place winners and three state champions.
Before becoming head coach, Bryant assisted the Northern State University DII wrestling program as a graduate assistant as he worked on his master's in Teaching and Learning with an emphasis in Health, Physical Education & Coaching in 2003. While at NSU, he coached two NCAA National Qualifiers and one NCAA All-American. Bryant returned later in 2006 to pursue his second master's in Secondary School Leadership and Administration.
As an undergraduate student and a member of the South Dakota State University wrestling program from 1997-2000, Bryant lettered all three years. In 2002, Bryant received his bachelor's degree in Health, Physical Education, & Recreation with a minor in Biology from South Dakota State.
