Bryant Griggs Simmons

Hello, I'm Bryant Griggs Simmons. I am currently seeking new employment opportunities and look forward to what the future holds.

Bryant Griggs Simmons attended Appalachian State University and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish with a strong emphasis / minor in Marketing.  Bryant G Simmons actually only has one class, Marketing Research, to complete before the second bachelor's degree is presented.  The university unfortunately did not offer Market Research as a summer course and Bryant Griggs Simmons could not find a local school that offered the exact same course for credit.  I could not justify the expense of living in a college town on minimum wage to complete one course over a normal semester.  Bryant G Simmons is currently seeking an accredited university that offers the night course to complete and have the double major Bryant Griggs Simmons worked dilligently to attain.
