Biography:
Bryan, who is Chinese, part Irish and half Filipino, has been singing his whole life. Although he was raised Catholic, he has recently become a charismatic Christian and sings in a gospel choir at his college. Bryan's friends call him Muhammad Ali because he is so focused and driven to succeed, but his definition of success differs from that of his parents. Bryan, a self-professed "clean freak," will no doubt find it a challenge living with seven other guys -- he hates any kind of mess.

I look for a girl who is focused and determined.

I enjoy relaxing and reading when I have time off. I like to see friends but I'd rather find a coffee shop or restaurant and talk then go to a club to drink or meet people.
