Brandon Bates is the CEO of the Oklahoma Wildcatters, a franchise competing in the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Team Series — the premier league in professional bull riding. Since taking the helm, Bates has built the Wildcatters into a competitive force and a standout brand in the sport, landing marquee sponsorships, recruiting championship-caliber coaching, and elevating Oklahoma as a home for elite bull riding.
Beyond the arena, Bates is the founder of American Cattle Co., a Western lifestyle brand, and a lifelong figure in cattle and rodeo culture. He brings that authenticity to everything the Wildcatters do — from team building and event development to fan experience and league strategy — always pushing to grow the game and put Oklahoma at the center of the PBR Team Series.
