Throughout his entire life, Bryce developed a passion for sports journalsim. After graduating from Shenendehowa High School in Clifton Park, New York, he went on to attend Penn State University to pursue a degree in Broadcasting Journalism.

Bryce is a senior at the Pennsylvania State University from Reading, Pennsylvania who now resides in Albany, New York.  He is in the pursuit of a major in Broadcasting Journalism with a minor in History.

Bryce is a member of Centre County Report, which is fully broadcasted by students and is the capstone broadcast journalism course in the College of Communications at Penn State. The award-winning weekly program serves a dual purpose—as a source of news and information for Centre County residents and as a real-time laboratory for Penn State students.

Bryce has interned at ESPN Radio 104.5 The Team in Albany, New York.
