Bryan Leturgez started college at Purdue where he played football, but then transferred to Indiana State on a track scholarship. He was a high jumper and ran the 400 hurdles at Indiana State. He was good enough to compete at the 1988 US Olympic Trials in the 400 hurdles, but went out in the first round after running 50.86. Leturgez joined the USA Bobsled team in the fall of 1988 and competed in that sport for 10 years. Leturgez graduated from Indiana State University with a business degree and then went to work for Anheuser Busch in California, before moving to work for Coca-Cola, all while still competing in bobsled. After retiring from sports, he began work in the financial world, first with Wachovia Securities in Atlanta, and later with Fisher Investments, a private money management firm based in California.
