Today, we honor Alumni Brother, Keith Bryan. Keith graduated from The Ohio State University in Spring 1983 with BS in Agriculture, majoring in Agricultural Economics. His Alpha Zeta Pledge Class was Fall 1979.

Keith grew up on a farm near Celina, Ohio. He served one year as Chronicler and one as Censor while an active member in Alpha Zeta. He is currently retired from Procter & Gamble Company after 27 successful years there. Keith also worked as grain trader and ops manager for Ag Processing for 13 years.

Currently, he lives in Liberty Township, Ohio which is a northern suburb of Cincinnati. He is married to his amazing wife, Lubica. His children are: Fillip (32), married to wife Cassidy - living and working in Cincinnati. Lilyana (26) - living and working in Columbus, Larisa (24) - Currently doing research at Penn State, starting on PHD at Northwestern this fall.

Keith is enjoying retirement immensely. Helping their kids through early adulthood. Playing golf, traveling with his wife, gardening and yardwork. Spending time off and on in his townhome near Destin, Florida.

Keith shares that, "I have been blessed to maintain connection with some of the close friends I made at AZ/OSU but wish I talked to and saw more of them, and more often. The recent passing of two brothers my age has intensified the desire to do more connecting and reaching out to more of the great guys I shared life with at OSU. AZ and the family culture was such a blessing for me."

We are so honored to share Brother Keith Bryan's incredible update. We wish him the very best in his retirement.
