Brad Bonham is a successful entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, and community leader.
He was born in Utah and has both built his businesses and raised his family in the shadows of the majestic Wasatch Front mountains and Utah’s red rock desert.
Brad began his entrepreneurial journey by buying and selling automotive wheels and watches while in college. He would search online marketplaces for these used products, then resell them for a profit. Since those early entrepreneurial years, Brad has launched or invested in dozens of businesses.
He is the founder and retired CEO of Walker Edison - a Utah based ready-to-assemble furniture company with customers around the globe. Under his leadership, Walker Edison was consistently recognized by Utah Business Magazine and Mountainwest Capital Network as one of Utah’s fastest-growing companies and maintained a strong philanthropic commitment to Utah communities.
Brad is currently volunteering as Utah's first ever entrepreneur in residence, advising Utah small business owners on how to grow their business and making sure Utah elected officials stay out of their way.
Brad is also the CEO of BONCO, a family of companies that invest in promising startups, private equity, and real estate.
Brad has been recognized as a Utah Business CEO of the Year, 40 Under Forty Honoree, and an Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Winner. He has had the privilege of directly contributing to Utah’s successful economy through job creation and capital infusion.
