NAFA CEO Phil Russo, CAE, announced Bryan's achievement during the third annual Fleet Excellence Awards on Tuesday night, April 14, in Orlando, Florida. The awards were part of the Institute & Expo opening night celebration.

A former fleet manager for the University of Colorado (Boulder), now with the I Have A Dream Foundation, Bryan has demonstrated a commitment to education in every aspect of his former full time job and continued volunteer work with NAFA. After four years in the military, he landed at the University where he was employed as maintenance manager, fleet manager, and eventually the Director of Transportation Services. He set the example early by getting his CAFM designation in 1997 and has been a passionate advocate of the program ever since.   

In his primary job, Bryan is known as a leader, innovator and educator. He was instrumental in originating the University of Colorado's biodiesel program, which has been recognized nationwide. He encouraged and mentored his own staff to become certified in the CAFM® program. As a volunteer, he has been involved at every level of NAFA, and currently serves as NAFA’s Senior Vice-President. He will serve as the first Chair of the Education and Credentialing Oversight Board.

Congratulations Brya!
