Brydon is a sixth-generation Bradenton, Florida native who has grown up surrounded by a deep sense of family, community, faith, and the responsibility to make the most of the opportunities God has given him. At just 17 years old, he co-authored Keep Going with Pastor Tucker Owen, bringing the perspective of a young person who is still learning what it means to follow Jesus, build discipline, lead others, and keep moving forward.

Brydon has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. As a teenager, he started his pressure-washing business, Squeaky Clean, investing in his own equipment and knocking on hundreds of doors before landing his first customer. That journey taught him perseverance, responsibility, financial stewardship, and that meaningful growth rarely happens without some discomfort along the way.

When Keep Going began taking shape, Brydon wanted it to be more than an idea. He used proceeds from his pressure-washing business to pay for the first 85 journals to be printed and gifted them to Bayside Community Church to help launch the first Keep Going small groups.

His desire to lead and serve has also taken shape through lacrosse, FCA, church youth ministry, coaching, and a mission trip to Uganda with Kids Lacrosse Africa. Along the way, Brydon has learned that success is not simply about what you build or accomplish, but about how you use what God has entrusted to you to serve others.

Most of all, Brydon is still becoming. He is learning to follow Jesus more closely, lead with humility, work with purpose, give generously, and trust God with what comes next.

His hope is simple: keep growing, keep serving, keep trusting, and Keep Going.

Tucker is a Bradenton native who has had the privilege of watching God write his story in the very community he now gets to pastor and serve. He grew up there, attending Bradenton Christian School and graduating in 2010. After college on the East Coast of Florida at Palm Beach Atlantic University, he sensed God calling him home, not simply to a place, but to the people and the community who had helped shape who he was becoming.

Since July 2019, Tucker has served on staff at Bayside Community Church, and is now the Campus Pastor of the West Bradenton Campus, right in the heart of his hometown. His heart is to authentically show and share the love of Jesus, and to help others do the same.

Keep Going is an invitation to pursue Jesus EVERY DAY in the ordinary rhythms of life. The goal isn't perfection. It's consistency. It's learning to keep showing up, keep trusting God, and keep moving forward.

Tucker has been married to his wife for 14 years, and together they have four daughters. Outside of ministry, you'll usually find him fishing, lifting weights, smoking meat on his Traeger, or watching his favorite collegiate team, the Miami Hurricanes.

Most of all, Tucker is still on the journey himself: learning, growing, worshiping, wondering, and wanting to run his race well and to never stop, but instead to Keep Going.
