Co-Founder of the "Benham family of Companies", David is a father of five and married to Lori. He graduated from Liberty University in 1998. David was drafted by the Boston Red Sox and played with the St Louis Cardinals before moving to metro Charlotte, NC in 2002, to join his brother Jason. Once re-united with his brother, they shortly ventured out together establishing the BENHAM Real Estate Group. David focuses on client relations, employee development, and global missioneering. As a follower of Christ, he believes the marketplace is a powerful venue to impact lives. In his words, "Touching a life is more important than bottom line results. This commitment has naturally allowed us to grow our business far beyond what we could've imagined." Now recognized as national leaders in business innovation and franchise growth, the Benham brothers were recently named as Entrepreneur Magazine's Top New Franchises (2010), and Business Leader Media's Top 50 Entrepreneurs List (2010). Early in his career, David established a core business principle to focus on people before money. He comments, "Our core principles of producing value, breathing life, being faithful in the little, and being a fountain not a drain have allowed us to grow sustainable companies despite difficult economic conditions. By remaining true to these principles we have watched in amazement as God has blessed the work of our hands."

David Bowden is an author, speaker and spoken word poet living in Oklahoma City with his wife Meagan. While earning a degree in Bible and Biblical Languages, David worked as a pulpit minister and, subsequently, a youth minister for a small local church in Oklahoma. After graduating, he co-founded an international non-profit that gave goats to impoverished families in the Philippines. During his last few years in college, and throughout his time at the non-profit, David was traveling and speaking at different conferences, churches and events. After two years working with goats, he amicably left the non-profit to work full time as a speaker and performer. Since then, David has been extremely fortunate to be able to speak in front of hundreds of thousands of people and have his online videos viewed over four million times. David has now authored his first theology book with Thomas Nelson Publishers entitled "When God Isn't There." He also spends his time creating videos to share with the Church, and partnering with conferences, events and churches to create Gospel-centered messages. David serves as the Artist in Residence at Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City and is the co-founder of Kleer Series (www.kleerseries.com). He is currently getting his MDIV at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. David and his wife attend Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City where they have led a community group for the last four years.
