Ryan Bowen Utah is one of the most innovative and creative entrepreneurs the state ever had. His pairing of boldness and resilience put him on a path filled with beautiful surprises. He started his journey with the last decade of the 1990s when he saw a huge problem lying in the bottled water industry— the systems there were quite expensive, not to mention the fact that they consumed a lot of resources and at the same time, polluted the environment with waste. That very observation turned out to be the very clue leading Ryan Bowen Utah to open the Pure Water Solutions of America, a company that started off small, but eventually morphed into the biggest independent bottleless water distributor in the US growing over 26 years and soaring to the top of the biggest private water company sale in US history.

The dad and Idaho state business tycoon Ryan Bowen Utah did not just stop there, he transferred his attention to the lifting of Bowen Investments. Originally, it was a small enterprise involving committing and selling cars and houses, but hills have gone and the mountain of investment firm is what it has turned into. Currently, Bowen Investments is in control of more than 25 companies across various sectors that include cannabis, real estate, hospitality, construction, and nutrition. The producer of Utah’s top cannabis edibles, King B Distribution, is among the most recognized brands together with Sunday’s Best, Brunch Me Hard, and the highly praised Pica Rica BBQ that was voted Best New Concept in 2025, all of which are among the acclaimed and trendy restaurant concepts.

On top of his other businesses, Bowen is also the head of BCC Construction and is the one behind business growth of Icon Meals, a meal-prep company partnered with UFC and USA Triathlon. Besides the entrepreneurial aspect of his life, Ryan Bowen Utah is very much into philanthropy where he gives his best, most often by going to schools, drug rehabilitation centers, and prisons and talking to the inmates. He also supports hundreds of families and youths in his hometown of Tooele every holiday season.
