Coben Bryan

I have had a very unique life as. I lived in Florida until I was fourteen, at which point I moved away from my family to chase my dream of playing hockey. I then spent my next three years in Pittsburgh, where I played hockey, went to high school, and was introduced to the world of finance. I moved from Pittsburgh to Chicago for my senior year, and continued my hockey dream. I then spent my final year playing junior-level hockey in Quebec, Canada. Through all of this, no matter how busy my schedule was, I sought to do work in any way I could to help support my dreams and goals. Between hockey and school, the rest of my time was spent studying financial markets, strategies, and news to become as knowledgeable on the topic as I could. With playing high-level hockey, being an A student, and managing my family's financial investments and IRAs, I have grown to be well-rounded and am determined and hardworking. I have also gained a sense of maturity and experience from living independently, meeting new people, and exploring new places. I believe I am someone who works as hard as they can, and I use my social skills to enhance the environment that I am in.

-In the summer of 2024 I went on a mission trip in the Amazon Rainforest with my local church. During this time, we took a small boat into the Rainforest and lived with the local people at their camp. We built them a new church from scratch with our equipment over the span of a week. It was a great experience to meet people from a different life situation and to help others who need and deserve it. I continue to serve with my local church in the community and surrounding areas.

- I played hockey my entire life and have lived in three different places (Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Ottawa/Gatineau) to pursue that dream and to go as far as I could.

-I am involved in "Man Up and Go" organization which is driven to break the cycle of generational fatherlessness. We mobilize, support and train men to model healthy masculinity in their homes, churches, and communities.
