Bryan Smith, Executive Director
bsmith.menolan@gmail.com
As a kid growing up outdoors at a camp in Ohio, its no surprise Bryan studied biology in college and is passionate about involving people in the life-changing experience of Men-O-Lan. Bryan is new to Men-O-Lan in Spring of ‘08.
If not working, Bryan enjoys spending time with his wife and best friend, Kelli, and tickling their five kids. Ideally, he would write his own book, have a dairy goat farm for making homestead cheese in his spare time, and would start another Camp Men-O-Lan in Scotland. You might be surprised to know Bryan enjoys gardening, baking, and studying Mandarin, and raises chickens & ‘critically rare’ British magpie ducks. Madras chicken might be his favorite Indian dish, but is in a close tie with Shanghai street food. Bryan wants to ‘shine like a star in the universe in a depraved generation’. At Camp, Bryan likes to daydream, after hours, in the fields of the wilderness camp area.
