Bryan Vix

Bryan is one of the rare natives to the San Francisco Bay Area. A fifth generation Californian, he grew up in the Bay Area with deep ties to the North and East Bay. After completing his primary education, Bryan enrolled and attended Solano Community College in Fairfield, California. Bryan’s upbringing instilled in him a drive to make his community better. While he attended community college, Bryan was active in local and state level politics, volunteering and working on several campaigns. Bryan transferred to UC Davis, completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in comparative politics with a minor in European history in 2013. He also participated in programs like the UC Davis Study Abroad program in Geneva, Switzerland where he studied international relations at the United Nations. Bryan decided that he wanted to pursue a career in law, believing that was the best way he could help those in need. He worked for a small criminal defense office while he applied to law schools. The attorneys he worked for at this time are still very close to Bryan and he considers them his most important mentors and role models. Bryan was accepted to Golden Gate University, School of Law in 2013. While at GGU, he worked for the Public Defender offices for both Contra Costa and Alameda County, representing individuals in and out of the criminal justice system. This was the first time that Bryan truly saw the justice system and how having zealous and compassionate representation can make a difference for individuals at the most trying times in their lives. Bryan was also elected by his peers to be the Student Bar Association Vice President where he oversaw the diverse campus student organizations.
