At an early age, Bryce started programming on his family’s computer and taught himself to create fractals by watching math videos. Motivated by a newfound passion for math, he got himself to and through high school and Santa Rosa Junior College. There, he earned a scholarship for outstanding mathematical potential and transferred to Sonoma State. 

Bryce plans to become a mathematics professor and help students develop a positive STEM identity and a growth mindset for life. ​
