At age 17, while visiting family near Augusta, Georgia, Gary Bryan heard a horrible broadcaster and believed he could do a better job as a radio personality.

Bryan is a veteran broadcaster, having served as program director at such stations as KKRZ (Z100) in Portland, Oregon, which he put on the air in 1984, and KUBE in his hometown of Seattle.

He then shifted his focus exclusively to performing morning hosting duties, appearing on-air at WHTZ in New York, the most-listened-to station in the United States at the time,[3] and KFRC in San Francisco.

[6] From May 2003 to October 2008, Bryan and KRTH raised more than $1 million in support of the Bob Hope Hollywood USO at LAX through three radiothons, a golf tournament,[7][8] and a raffle featuring a Jeep Wrangler customized by Jesse James.

Bryan is currently partnering with Lou Pizarro from Operation Repo and EGA Productions to develop reality TV concepts for cable and video streaming.

In 2009, Rewind combined its production efforts and affiliate network with those of oldies program Dick Clark's Rock, Roll & Remember, which was also distributed by United Stations.

By the time he graduated high school, Bryan had lived in Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Norfolk, Virginia, Bath, Maine, San Diego, Los Angeles and Gray, Georgia.
