Unlike Costello and Hoffman, Bryan Heinz, a scan supervisor, has not yet had a career.
...
However, at 24 years old, Heinz has already accomplished a major dream of his - playing college football and getting a scholarship.

Heinz walked onto a Division 1 football team at Northwestern University.By the spring of his freshmen year Heinz was offered a football scholarship.By Heinz's senior year he was the captain of the team that had five players go to the NFL.

"When I was younger my dream was making it to college and getting a scholarship and playing college football.It was obviously a goal of mine to go to the pros," Heinz said."But as soon as the injuries started tacking on, the pros lost its luster.I wanted to walk when I was 50."

After graduating with a degree in economics and a master's degree in business communication, Heinz got a job with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network as a financial representative.After three months Heinz decided that job was not right for him.Heinz quit and moved to Vail.

Heinz plans on having more adventures before he goes back to school or re-enters the financial world.

"I think if the guests stopped to talk to the scanners, they would find it hilarious because of all the different experiences," Heinz said.
