Calling Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina home, Bryan McDowell is a client manager for Symplicity CSM. With a degree in Parks and Recreation and Spanish from UNC-Wilmington, Bryan spent three years in higher education at Methodist University as an International Student Services Specialist and Education Abroad Coordinator. Bryan joined Symplicity in 2023, seeing communication and data as valuable resources for institutions to make better informed decisions that ultimately benefit students. Outside of his work at Symplicity, Bryan spends his time with his family, often at baseball or softball fields with his kids. He loves supporting Duke basketball (Go Duke!) and spending time on the coast of North Carolina and “everywhere in between.” An avid griller and outdoor cook, you might find Bryan  cooking traditional a whole hog eastern North Carolina barbecue.
