Bryan D Riley

Bryan is a sophomore majoring in Accounting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. When graduating, he felt like he had no direction or plan, especially with the state of the world at the time. However, keeping some optimism, he decided that joining some clubs would help to remedy that. After stumbling through a variety of different options, DECA stood out to him as something interesting. When he joined DECA his freshman year, he not only found a surprisingly enjoyable career path, but a sense of direction he hadn’t had before. From the welcoming social settings, to the meaningful work they did, even down to the food at the meetings, Bryan felt DECA wasn’t just a club, it was an opportunity to be better and find something he could really enjoy doing, and feel at home while doing it. While he wasn’t too involved his freshman year, he slowly brought himself into more and more of the organization, until applying for a coordinator position his sophomore year to finally start paying forward all of the benefits DECA had given him.
