Bryan Rivera spent 13 years in the emergency management/communications industry before crossing over to the political field. He block walked and managed hundreds of campaigns for city, county, and regional teams in Texas, including Texas House District Representative Caroline Harris. In 2019, he started Texas Hometown Solutions, a political campaign management company, with his friend Michael Jenkins. Bryan also serves as a part-time emergency management consultant.
A fourth generation Texan, Bryan moved to Liberty Hill in 2020 with his wife Ashley and four kids, Brayden, Emilee, Caleb, and Ellie. He has been a member of the Liberty Hill Planning and Zoning commission since 2022 and chairman for the newly formed Liberty Hill Charter board committee. When he’s not working or serving Liberty Hill, Bryan enjoys volunteering at Safe in Austin with his family, playing the bass guitar, and taking long road trips through the hill country.
THE BEST LEADERS SUPPORT THEIR TEAMS by leading from the front and listening.
I DEFINE A GREAT ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AS ONE THAT has a leader who leads no matter what his or her title is.
ONE THING I TRY TO DO EVERY DAY is encourage someone within my organization, family, or within the community.
I FEEL MOST ALIVE WHEN I am driving with no music on and just watching the world in front of me as I go through it.
TO AVOID DISTRACTIONS I find the place where I can be alone and listen to my music as loud as I can.
I HANDLE NEGATIVITY BY remembering who I am and how I will not let the negativity be the distraction that derails my future!
ONE THING THAT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME BUT I ENJOYis finding quiet time. As a husband, father of four, business owner, and leader in the community, I almost never get alone time.
MY BEST ADVICE FOR HANDLING CHANGE IS let it happen, it’s going to happen, and you will be okay.
IN TEN YEARS I HOPE to be here in Liberty Hill but helping the next generation lead this city.
I DEFINE SUCCESS AS when someone takes the time to ask you a question because they are confident that you know what you are doing. How you handle that is a good indicator that you have become a success.
