Bryce Tolman

Bryce is an undergraduate majoring in Biochemistry. He lived the majority of his life in Colorado before moving to Utah in High School. His plan is to attend medical school soon once he finishes his bachelor's degree. He got interested in computer science while in college and decided to do bioinformatics because it offers the opportunity to combine that and medicine in an interesting way. He loves spending time with his wife and toddler, playing volleyball, doing puzzles, and playing or listening to music.
