Bryant Amundson
CEO
Bryant Amundson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Nautical Bowls, but first and foremost, he’s a husband, dad, and family guy. What started as one small store has now grown to locations across the country – something he’s incredibly proud of, but even more so because it’s allowed him to build a business rooted in purpose and values. Bryant leads with passion, faith, and a deep commitment to keeping Jesus at the center of everything he does – both at work and at home. He’s surrounded himself with an amazing team of franchise pros and business leaders, but his biggest joy comes from quality time with his family, and living life to the fullest. For Bryant, success isn’t just about growth – it’s about impact, relationships, and staying grounded in what matters most.
Bryant & Rachel Amundson
Co-Founders
We (Bryant & Rachel) were married in 2016 and started Nautical Bowls in May of 2018 at 24 years old. We had a new house, two golden retrievers, and a baby boy due right after we opened our doors. We tend to live by a “the crazier, the better — do it all at once!” motto and believe in having a LOT of fun while we do it. We started Nautical Bowls in May of 2018 because we wanted to have freedom of time with our family and make a meaningful impact on others at the same time. We have 3 kids who are along for the ride (Oliver, Raelyn, Sunny, & Ronnie – want 3 more), 170+ Nautical Bowls franchise locations awarded (want 1,000). Hey, DREAM BIG, right?
