Bryan Cosby

With a life rooted in service Bryan has always valued my relationships with people above all else. He was born in Southern California and raised in Spokane, Washington. Graduating from Whitworth College with a degree in Theology and Spanish, he moved to the Sierra Nevada's near the Yosemite area with his wife, Laura, to work at a camp and conference center at 5,000 feet. They served the central valley of CA and absolutely fell in love with living in such paradise. They moved back to Spokane, WA after their first child was born where they loved for 5 years and eventually, he helped open the Perry Street Brewery. This neighborhood taproom exploded and has not looked back. That same year Laura and their now 3 kids felt the call to move to Redding, CA. It was a place that was loaded with the same natural beauty they had come to love and was a smaller slower life. They love Redding and Redding loves them is their motto! Since moving here nearly 8 years ago, he had done ministry school, owned a Christmas tree lot, mined for gold, worked as a global account manager for a communications company and most recently began to serve Redding as a realtor. He loves serving all my clients and playing a tangible role in the shaping and growth of their city. Redding is in an amazing place. Bryan loves seeing the people of Redding taking risks and building a city. Bryan has maintained involvement and a pulse on the startup community in Redding since winning the inaugural Start Up Weekend in 2015. It’s easy to find him pitching an idea or listening to another entrepreneur at Theory or Evergreen. He loves investing in the people of their city and volunteer as a deacon at my church. He is involved in mentoring young adults and have in the past volunteered in Shasta Lake City, working with high schoolers at the drop-in center. With a heart for service and hospitality it brings him joy to cook and host events for others. Bryan loves seeing what happens around the table as people break bread together. Bryan would love to be more and more involved in the restaurant world of Redding. Eventually he will own my own restaurant. His wife and he love to travel. With his new job at the Redding airport, they look forward to taking advantage of the perks and traveling with their family. There is nothing better than meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, and seeing creation in so many ways. Collectively they have traveled to over 25 ish countries (He taught English in a town of 2000 people in Spain for a year. Where he learned Spanish and have maintained a level of fluency). One of the draws to Shasta County for them was the beautiful surroundings. This hidden gem of Northern California lends to plenty of exploration. As a family they love to get out and hike around. They love to run the thousands of trails and overall, just enjoy living in such a beautiful place. Of course, the hobbies don't end there as he recently had been bit by the Pickle Ball bug and just purchased a 1969 VW Square Back. Looking forward to countless hours at Enterprise courts and fixing up the VW for Kool April Nights (help Wolfgang help)!!!!!
