Bryan has spent most of his professional life in the telecom industry, beginning his career as a sales representative for Cellular One of Memphis in 1985. After discovering his customers were having difficulty traveling with their phones, he founded Mosaik in 1988 (originally branded as American Roamer) and began developing consumer roaming guides. Soon, Mosaik was researching and designing mobile operator coverage maps enabling them to market the reach of their mobile networks. The company ultimately built a global catalog of mobile network spectrum and coverage as well as developing and acquiring other telecom related datasets. In June 2018, Mosaik was acquired by Ookla.



Bryan has served on many industry committees during his career. He currently serves on CTIA’s Smart Cities Working Group, WIA’s Innovation Technology Council and the Wireless History Foundation’s Board of Directors.
