Brian Frazier worked in the automotive industry and was a musician until experiencing a traumatic brain injury in 1988 that resulted in quadriplegia.
After his injury, he studied physiological psychology at Fresno State University and at the College of the Sequoias, where he became the opinion editor of the school newspaper. He also served on the city council of Farmersville, California.
He moved to Texas in 1999, then formed a company called Central Texas Service Dogs and trained dogs for himself and others, focusing on dogs' problem behaviors. Bryan enjoys attending live music concerts and learning to use Computer-Aided Design to create adaptive solutions.
