David Allen

2014 David Allen David Allen, a man who has supported the PBR since its beginning, was behind the PBR’s first event in Kansas City, Missouri, and also hired PBR Entertainer Flint Rasmussen to work a PBR event for the first time. Although he was asked to help the organization with sponsorship, the PBR, as a startup, could not afford Allen’s services. Instead, Allen was offered the opportunity to co-promote select PBR events, which included bringing and establishing the Ty Murray Invitational in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Allen has co-promoted the Ty Murray Invitational, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the past 18 years. According to Murray, despite all the growth in the PBR organization and its popularity, changes in executives and personnel along with the marketing and PR needs, the one constant has been Allen. Allen also initiated the longstanding relationship between the PBR and its yearly Touring Pro Division event held in Denver, Colorado, in conjunction with the Western Stock Show.
