Director of Operations - Bryan Jollie

Bryan was born and raised in Niceville, FL. . His father was a volunteer soundman and he began his love of music and sound at a very young age. He began playing bass guitar at age 8 and furthered that with drum lessons throughout his Junior High years at Ruckel Middle School. After graduating from Niceville High School, he attended Okaloosa Walton Community College and began to major in Engineering. During his years at OWCC he felt a calling into the ministry so left college in 1994 to enter into Bible college in Pensacola. Throughout his 13 years there he travelled extensively doing evangelistic meetings around the world. During these travels his knowledge of sound and sound systems grew extensively. He was very fortunate to meet some great engineers and has kept a long friendship with many whom he calls his mentors. Growing tired of travelling he took a job with a well-known Audio/Video company and decided to work there for a few years doing home theater installations and progressing to managing his department. From there he went on to work at Olive Baptist Church, and Niceville UMC before deciding to come home to Abundant Life. He has two wonderful children, a daughter and a son.
