Martin Bryant is a trainer, field consultant, and "software evangelist" for OSISoft, the world's leading supplier of continuous process data collection, archiving, and information analysis, based in San Leandro California.

His work has taken him from Saudi Arabia to Korea and from British Columbia to South America, and from Maine to Mississippi.   Recently he's traveled to Nigeria

Martin studied music at the collegiate level and plays bass guitar.  He has two very nice basses - a Larivee acoustic fretless five-string - and a G&L "El Toro" electric four string.

He also does some choral arranging and composing for the family, including "If there would be Peace..." and his settings of "In the Bleak Midwinter..." and "Wonderful World"

Martin is a founding member of Wildflower Church, a Unitarian Universalist Congregation for South Austin - where he has served as Finance and Worship Chair and on the Organizing Committee.  Martin has developed and taught several adult religious education classes and taught youth classes as well.   He has written and given a dozen sermons for UU congregations and numerous children's stories as well.
