Craig Stokes (MBA ’06) celebrated the grand opening of his Chick-fil-A franchise in the Canoga Park neighborhood of Los Angeles in January 2020. “I was fortunate to be one of 100 people out of 70,000 to be selected as a Chick-fil-A Owner/Operator after an 18-month interview process.” What Bryan School memory stands out for Craig? “I had really great faculty and staff during my time at the Bryan School. From Dr. Shelly to Dr. Gargeya, I always felt supported and encouraged.”

Charles Hunter (BA ’18) is currently the leasing and marketing manager at Campus Evolution Villages in Greensboro. His favorite Bryan School memory is the final project he did for his capstone class and credits professors Tiffany Reynolds and Erick Byrd for making a major impact on his life.

Kimberly Hoffman (BS ’19) is currently teaching Principles of Marketing and Entrepreneurship at Asheboro High School in Asheboro, NC. She is also a DECA adviser for the Asheboro High School chapter. She shares that her most recent career accomplishment was: “Making it through my first year of teaching! Coming from the business world and not the teacher education side, it was not the easiest transition, but I enjoy sharing my knowledge of marketing and small business ownership with my high school students. I like to see their excitement when they get to explore these areas and dream about their own future.” Her favorite Bryan School memory was coming back after being away for more than 30 years. “My professors and adviser were very helpful in helping me plan for and complete my degree. What had seemed so far from reach ended up being very attainable with their help.”

Jeff Tyl (BS ’18) has been named the North American sales manager for fabrication products at Murata Machinery.
