Bryl's Biography

I’m a 30-something married male, born and raised in the South Hills suburbs of Pittsburgh. After graduating Keystone Oaks High School, I attended Wittenberg University in Springfield, OH for four years, and then headed to Boston do work on my master’s degree in communications. After nearly five years in Beantown (enough time to realize the ”Curse of the Bambino” was in fact true…although that’s been reversed, now), my wife and I decided that although we loved Boston, the cost of living was too much for us. So we packed up our bags and moved back (for me) to The ’Burgh.
