Bryan Bailey is the Director of Media at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. Bryan graduated from Ouachita Baptist University with a bachelor’s degree in Church Music, and after several years of leading worship and doing tech simultaneously, he fully migrated to full-time technical work.

Throughout the years, Bryan has developed a desire to train volunteers to operate technology at the highest levels of excellence. He uses theories of education and biblical principles to craft training programs that empower teams to achieve exceptionally high production value. Bryan’s passion is training volunteer teams to pursue excellence and pushing technology limits in worship (as well as fishing).
