Bryan Zimmerman grew up in Alpharetta with his father, Joseph, who worked for Verizon Wireless, and his mother, Diane, who worked various odd jobs. He also has a half-brother named Steven.

He played basketball and soccer and swam on his neighborhood swim team. Practice was routine. So was competition.

Zimmerman attended Chattahoochee High School from 2005 to 2009. After graduating, he went to Clemson University.

After Clemson, he briefly attended the University of Arkansas before continuing his education at the Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health, where he completed his studies in 2018.

Today, sports are still central to Zimmerman’s life.

He plays basketball at least once every weekend. Not occasionally. Not when it is convenient. Every weekend.

He also runs and swims regularly. Movement is not optional for him. It is part of his identity.

There is no need for a spotlight or recognition. For Zimmerman, steady actions matter more than big statements.
