Meet Clean Team Member William Bryant

This October, the Initiative continues its monthly series that features members of the Initiative’s Clean Team.  The Clean Team is made up of 7 members who work for our partner ACE.  Most readers recognize our Clean Team from their distinctive sapphire blue SoHo Broadway t-shirts.  The goal of this series is to introduce our readers to the men who work tirelessly each day to keep the SoHo Broadway corridor looking its best.

Meet Clean Team Member William Bryant.

On September 23, William joined the Initiative’s Executive Director, Mark Dicus for lunch to answer his 5 questions.  William was born in Savannah, Georgia and came to New York City when he was 16.  William is one of twelve siblings, growing up with six brothers and five sisters.  Today, William lives in Harlem just a few doors down from his 80 year old father and nearby to several other family members.  William’s nickname is “Little bit o’ luck.”
