Bryan Roman - BIO

I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. As the youngest in my family, I enjoyed making art not only to occupy my time but also to gain attention from others.  In middle school I was fortunate enough to take an art class; I did rather well and that got an audition for a spot in a new magnet program for the arts called Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. My audition was on the last day; I was the last candidate to audition; I was selected to participate in the program.  Earning the final spot in that program and the amazing exposure to the World of Fine Art it provided propelled me to achieve a Presidential Scholarship at Ringling School of the Arts…and those folks at Ringling aren’t clowning around [intended humor].

After graduating as a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), I started my professional career as a designer and sculptor with Feld Entertainment, who are the creators of Ringling Circus and Disney on Ice.  This work not only satisfied my insatiable desire to create things for public view but it was also a fantastic foundation for success in the Arts & Entertainment Industry. Along the way I was also able to incorporate various leadership and management roles while still doing creative projects.  To gain more knowledge, I would find ways to help others, which allowed me to learn more and become more valuable – overall – in the industry.  Moving from project to project and mentor to mentor eventually lead me from the production floor to the office where I applied that same thirst to learn and took on many roles.  At a certain point I landed in the role of project manager. This position fit well with my knowledge of art, my knowledge of production, and my knowledge of organized approaches. 

While this is a condensed version of my “Then until Now” in the industry, please know that there is a lot of history behind me. There is also much more future ahead of me. My question to you is: How can I fit into and support your epic story?  Let me know. (Click to Call Me)
