Facing adversity head-on, Brandon Davis transformed each challenge into an opportunity,
driving his success with steadfast determination. From personal trials to professional hurdles,
Davis’s journey is marked by his ability to turn setbacks into stepping stones toward greater
achievements.
When the oil price crash threatened to upend his career, Davis saw it as more than just a
financial crisis—it was a challenge to innovate. “Instability is comfortable for me,” he once
remarked, capturing his unique ability to thrive in chaotic environments. This mindset not only
helped him survive the downturn but also propelled him toward new ventures that would
eventually lead to greater success.
Personal struggles also played a significant role in shaping Davis’s resilience. His divorce in
2014 was a pivotal moment, pushing him to refocus on his core values: his health, his family,
and his business. Instead of allowing this difficult period to define him, Davis used it as a
catalyst to rebuild his life with renewed purpose and clarity.

Davis’s entry into NASCAR is perhaps the most compelling example of his resilience. After
losing his job and facing financial ruin, he found himself on the brink, living on 99-cent burritos
while sleeping on a cousin’s couch. Yet, a decade later, Davis owned a NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series team, Swan Racing. His entry into the racing world was anything but conventional—he
had no prior connections, no background in the sport—but his ability to adapt and learn quickly
earned him respect in the NASCAR community.
One of Davis’s most significant recent ventures is Trek One Capital, the private equity firm he
founded in 2023. Trek One Capital stands out in the industry for its strategic focus on acquiring
and growing companies within the lower-middle market. Davis’s approach with Trek One Capital
reflects the lessons he’s learned throughout his diverse career, from oil and gas to NASCAR.
His commitment to transparency, innovation, and collaboration is at the heart of Trek One
Capital’s operations, setting a strong foundation for sustainable growth. The firm’s purchase of
Tejas Environmental Solutions in December 2022 exemplifies Davis’s strategic investment
approach.
Managing multiple businesses and wearing many different hats is a skill that eludes even the
most seasoned entrepreneurs. Brandon, however, excels as a high-level operator,
demonstrating exceptional skill and adaptability in juggling his various ventures with remarkable
efficiency. As Trek One Capital continues to grow, Davis remains focused on expanding the
firm’s portfolio with companies that offer both financial returns and contribute positively to
society. His ability to successfully steer Trek One Capital while managing other ventures and
personal commitments speaks to his exceptional resilience and strategic mindset.
