Bryan Steele served meritoriously in the US Marine Corps followed by eight years trading for commercial banking clients on and off the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Steele then left the securities industry and attended UC, Irvine, to study English under such luminaries as Jacque Derrida. Afterwards, Steele attended graduate school while he taught inner city high school English in Los Angeles. After five years of teaching, Steele moved to the LA Weekly where he exposed administrative dysfunction within the Los Angeles school district. As a result of his work for the Weekly, Steele was hired by the California Legislature where, armed with subpoena power, he investigated public-school issues statewide, held public hearings, and issued legislative reports - five of which are held by the US Library of Congress. Steele's many publishing credits include Road to Belmont, in which he documents the causal relationship between adult administration and student success.
