Dave “KD3” Bryan
Known as Pastor Dave, PD or KD3, Dave has spent most of his life becoming the person he once needed. Through lived experience, service and an unshakable belief that purpose can rise from broken places, he moves between ministry, music, mentorship and community development with one message: growth is possible, God is good, and you have a brother in Dave whenever you need one.
The story behind the book
Dave grew up without a father present after the age of five, a reality that quietly shaped his sense of identity and direction. Instead of letting it become a limitation, he turned it into a calling. Today he is a friend to the friendless, a father to the fatherless, and a source of hope for people who feel overlooked.
Faith anchors everything he builds. His belief in God is operational: it shapes how he leads, creates and mentors, and it comes with personal responsibility. That is the heart of From Good to Gold.
Music, ministry and movement
JazRah Records. Named for his children, Jasmine and Dave Rahmell, JazRah was created to give young people access to creative tools many lacked during his more than twenty years of youth ministry. It has grown into a platform for music production, mentorship and artistic development, including Dave’s own work as KD3.
Pilates On Fifth. Dave began his Pilates journey nearly three decades ago and has been a certified instructor for over thirty years. He founded Pilates On Fifth in Indialantic and built it on the same principles that guide his writing and ministry: consistency, alignment and long-term investment.
