Bryan Chapman

1980-1982: Served a mission in Zurich Switzerland. Of the 120 missionaries, oddly enough, five of us went to Timpview and I was companions with two Timpview grads: Carl Anderson (class of '79), David Gillie (class of '79), Manual Kalt (class of '79. my comp), Jeff Peacock (class of '80, my comp) and myself.

1983: Married Nancy Dixon (met her at Reed William's wedding reception. Nancy is Reed's cousin).

1986: Graduated from BYU with a degree in Multimedia Communications

1989: Received a Master degree from Utah State University in Instructional Design, with an emphasis on Adult Learning Theory (one of the best decisions I ever made)

Have worked in the same field ever since, basically helping design learning initiatives that train very large numbers of employees over the internet for companies such as IBM (Global Campus), American Red Cross (online CPR and First Aid training for Millions), UNICEF, U.S. State Department (training embassy workers worldwide), Shell (training 140,000 employees), AVON (product training for 600,000 AVON ladies), etc.

I really enjoy getting to know about lots of different types of companies from the inside out.

I get the chance to speak all over the world at tradeshows, teach workshops and conduct webinars.

Until recently, I always worked for someone else, but in 2007, I started my own company called Chapman Alliance (see www.chapmanalliance.com). It's great to work for yourself, except in my case I have a terrible boss (me).

I play in two bands:

See www.escapeutah.com
www.northfortyband.com

It's a kick to still play and perform, although my travel schedule frequently runs interference.

I have a great family, great wife, great life!

Graduated from Timpview in 1979, but appreciate you adding me as a guest on your site.

If anyone from the class of 1981 would like to come see what happened to the class of 1979, please feel free to visit www.timpview79.com. We'd be happy to create a guest account for you!

Dying a tons of Orange and Blue sheets for the "T" on the mountain and then waiting weeks for the color to fade off my arms.

Hanging out at Denny's at 1:30 a.m., hanging spoons on our noses with Keith Bradshaw, Shauna Metcalf, Ann Crawley, Brad Nielsen, et al.

Serving as an "Official Pig Judge" to make sure Shelley Jackman, in fact, kissed the pig.

Putting a band together for the Stars assemble with Ed Kocherhans (guitar and lead vocals), Evan Pearce (lead guitar), Mark Reveal (bass), Brett Burr (drums) and me on keyboard.

Trying to put on plays in basically a large classroom because we didn't have an Auditorium.

Being literally forced to play Charlie Brown in a Junior Assembly with Cindy Quinn as Lucy, Brad Nielsen as Snoopy, Timo Stay as Linus and Carla Vorhaus as Peppermint Patty.

Jenny Cook, Stacy Kimball and I went down to basically TP Provo High and put up signs a couple of days before the big football game. We were scoping out the school from across the street in the BYU parking lot. A cop stopped and asked us what we were doing. Long story short, we chickened out on the TP thing, but we did get up on their big school board and hang a sign saying "The North will Win Again!" (because of the Civil War Theme for the 1979 football game). Wasn't a school sanctioned activity , but we took school spirit personally.

I watch my kids go through High School and wonder how they could possibly enjoy it as much as I did!
