Bryan Zeamer’s life is a testament to the values of hard work, perseverance, leadership, and giving back to the sport of wrestling. From his days as a standout high school and collegiate wrestler to his success as a businessman and community leader, Bryan has consistently exemplified the ideals represented by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame’s Outstanding American Award.

A 1990 graduate of Manheim Central High School, Bryan compiled 78 wins while competing for the Barons. He was a Schuylkill Valley Tournament champion, a Manheim Holiday Tournament champion, and a Lancaster Lebanon League All-Star. He capped his scholastic career as a PIAA state qualifier and was honored as Manheim Central’s Most Valuable Wrestler.

Bryan continued his career at Elizabethtown College, where he wrestled from 1991 to 1995 and established himself as one of the program’s top athletes. His collegiate highlights include a fifth-place finish at the 1994 NCAA Division III Championships, earning All-American honors. That same year, he was selected to compete with Athletes in Action on an international tour in Hungary. In recognition of his collegiate achievements, Bryan was inducted into the Elizabethtown College Hall of Fame.

After graduation, Bryan remained connected to the sport through coaching. He shared his knowledge and passion at his alma mater Manheim Central, at Millersville University, and at Elizabethtown College.

Beyond the wrestling room, Bryan has achieved remarkable success in business. As president and majority owner of Utility Keystone Trailer Sales, Inc., he has grown the Lancaster-based company into one of the largest semi-trailer dealerships in the region, employing more than 130 people. In addition to UKTS, Bryan has launched other successful ventures, including PennStro Ventures LLC and PennStro Leasing, reinforcing his reputation as a visionary entrepreneur.

Bryan’s influence extends far beyond business and athletics.

His dedication to service also includes involvement with charitable initiatives such as the National Wrestling Hall of Fame PA Chapter’s “Clays for Kids” fundraiser, among others.

Bryan’s story is one of competitive excellence, professional achievement, and lifelong service. He has taken the lessons learned on the wrestling mat and carried them into every area of his life—building businesses, strengthening his community, mentoring young athletes, and supporting wrestling at every level. For his outstanding contributions as an athlete, coach, businessman, mentor, and role model, Bryan Zeamer is richly deserving of induction into the Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as an Outstanding American.
