Bryan Carrier grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, in the Kamm’s Plaza area. He was presented with the opportunity to perform in Community Theatre in lead roles in Barefoot in the Park and Arsenic and Old Lace. He soon realized building sets and working behind the scenes suited his abilities much better. While attending college and receiving an associate degree, he built a career in the printing industry. While working, he wrote many children's stories and historical pieces about the Vietnam Wall, the Oklahoma City Bombing and others.
Moving to Florida to escape the brutal Cleveland winters he settled on the sunny beaches in the Tampa/Clearwater area. He has retired from the printing industry and lives with his wife and two dogs. Bryan is the author of many children’s books, Glasses for Wally, Billie Bop’s Robot, BeBop, There’s Something Fishy About My Fish, Stinky Stella, and I Fired My Dog, along with Farty Marty. Bryan’s latest release is Rise Up! Book one and two in this popular Rise Up series.
