Bevans Branham

Bevans Branham is the founder of the Branham Companies. The Branham Companies is an evolution of the business alliance uniting Lorie and Bevans Branham, formed subsequent to his graduation with special recognition from the University of Colorado, and being married in 1973. They have been recipients of world-class training in marketing, advertising, public relations, team-building, and classical French cooking. They are recognized for excellence, as promoters, producers and developers of award winning advertising campaigns and public relations programs. Additionally, they have been responsible for creating and establishing a group of businesses celebrated for success - critically, financially and culturally.   Bevans Branham has helped originate, produce and develop numerous highly innovative, nationally recognized restaurants that changed industry standards, including My Friends Restaurant & Bar - Evergreen, Colorado, Michael’s - Santa Monica, California, Gordon’s - Aspen, Colorado and The Rattlesnake Club - Denver, Colorado. Later they collaborated with Philippe Starck developing Restaurant BON in Paris - its much-acclaimed first organic food restaurant. History validates how this amazing collection of restaurants served to unconsciously establish the new food trends, nomenclature and cultural shifts that have been long lasting, sustainable and much loved - changing forever the way America and the world eats, dines and enjoys food.   Concurrently and significantly, Bevans Branham proceeded to help successfully pioneer the development of the boutique venture capital business in San Francisco in 1981. Notably, serving as a force with the corporate finance team for the search and discovery of the legendary San Jose, the “holy grail” of treasure salvage ships. This VC process classically integrated leading-edge research, science, technology and finance with entrepreneurial excellence in this great breakthrough find for all time of extreme cultural, technological and economic significance – today valued in excess of $20B.   Subsequently, the Branhams became active principally in the nonprofit sector serving as board members and active participants in numerous non-profit enterprises and foundations, later evolving their own foundation. All the entities enjoyed and shared an affiliation and common focus concerned with facilitating the positive transformation of leadership and society as a whole, nationally and globally - the life enhancement of humankind.   The Branham Companies have more recently been privileged to serve as strategic marketing and investment advisors to a small group of high net worth individuals and successful companies, including Davis Petroleum Corp., USI of Southern California and Landmark Golf Co. Additionally, they were honored to participate as core team members with Pepperdine University, collaborating on the creation of their landmark Arts, Media and Culture Initiative.   Today, they enjoy serving as strategic advisors to a small collection of highly innovative, entrepreneurial enterprises and successful companies. They participate in the strategic selection, acquisition and resale of distressed properties/special situations. Importantly, they are now highly focused developing the premier hot, new boutique hotel group for couples, worldwide, and associated websphere – celebrating food, sex and spirituality in an elegant, erotic and constructive manner. Their new Sexual Wealth Institute will serve as an allied entity to the hotel group, facilitating literary work, workshops, seminars and related media tools to inspire, stimulate and help manifest positive life change, relational redemption and ecstatic living for couples. Both the hotel group and the institute serve primarily the educated and affluent, change agents of society, contributing to the cultural renewal and improved well-being of a complex, extreme global reality.   Additionally, the Branhams are in pre-development of a major motion picture on the San Jose, a former VC project in final maturation, now also evolving into a multi-billion dollar film and entertainment franchise.   Their commitment continues to evolve, expand and flourish, spiritually and materially, personally and professionally – as “hitmakers,” change agents, lovers and givers.
