Sheriff ’ s Office Operations Captain

Captain Seal has worked for the Orange County Sheriff ’ s Office for fifteen years. During that time, technology has changed the way the Office operates significantly, from writing paper reports to today ’ s remote electronic capabilities.

While he has served the community in a variety of ways, Bryan says the connecting theme has always been “ trying to make a difference in someone ’ s life, whether it ’ s a member of the public or a coworker. ” Captain Seal continues that trend outside of duty hours by coaching wrestling. He started wrestling when he was in kindergarten, and continued through high school and college. His time as a School Resource Officer got him back into the sport, and he ’ s grateful to have the opportunity to introduce wrestling to young folks and help them improve. Work, coaching, and family life keep him “ going, going, going. ” Perhaps that ’ s why he says his preferred superpower would be having endless energy and never needing to rest. We thank you for your tireless service, Capt. Seal!
