About Travis Boersma

Travis Boersma is the cofounder and executive chairman of Oregon-based coffee chain Dutch Bros.

Boersma took Dutch Bros public on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2021; he owns more than 60 million shares.

He and his late brother Dane (d. 2009) started selling coffee from a pushcart in Grants Pass, Oregon in 1992 after quitting the family dairy business.

Dutch Bros added the first of its now popular drive-through locations in 1994, and now has more than 600 shops in 14 states.

The company is known for its quirky culture; its baristas are called "broistas" and it offers beverages such as the "Hot Annihilator."
