A Cobalt original who blends deep accounting expertise with a passion for helping clients build smarter, stronger businesses.

Bryant has been with Cobalt since the beginning and has held leadership positions in each of our departments. He was originally nudged towards a career in accounting by his father, who worked as a controller for many years. After excelling in several high school accounting classes Bryant knew that this is the profession for him. He graduated with a degree in Accounting & Business/Management from Portland State University, then started working in venture capital consulting and bookkeeping. Bryant enjoys making tangible improvements at any stage of the accounting process but finds the most satisfaction when helping clients develop their business strategies and goals.

Outside of Work

If Bryant isn’t working (which is rare) he enjoys many outdoor Pacific Northwest activities including bouldering, rock climbing, and disc golf. When the Oregon weather doesn't agree with those activities, you can catch him playing video games and dreaming of sunny blue skies. Bryant also serves as a member of the Board of Directors and Treasurer of the Housing Development Center, a non-profit that provides affordable housing development consulting and other services throughout the Pacific Northwest.
