Summary
My name is Evyn Bryant. I was a United States Army infantryman and was wounded in combat in Afghanistan in 2011. I graduated from California State University, Northridge (CSUN) in May 2021 with a bachelor's degree in journalism-public relations. I founded two websites, Step Into The Box and EvynJP where I write about a couple of my passions — baseball and Japan. I am also a nationally (US-NREMT) and Los Angeles County certified emergency medical technician. Currently, I live and study Japanese in Tokyo.
