The First Lady of PBR, Candis Gleason is the wife of PBR CEO and Commissioner, Sean Gleason. Candis has been a positive presence at PBR events for many years and was instrumental in PBR’s return to competition following the pandemic shutdown. Candis used her 20+ years of hospitality experience to feed and entertain hundreds of isolated bull riders and staff at the Lazy E Arena over several weeks. Candis is currently a realtor in Colorado and continues ongoing education to support her work as a Nutritional Health Coach.

Sean and Candis are parents to four incredible children, three of them young ladies, who all grew up influenced by cowboy and cowgirl values, the western lifestyle and western sports. Candis is very excited to be involved with Grit + Grace where she hopes to shine a light on the same values she raised her children with to mentor young ladies and inspire them to develop a confidence that will lead them through the rest of their lives. When she is not on the PBR trail, Candis leads an active lifestyle and can be found boating, wake surfing, golfing, attending college rodeos, and most likely cooking healthy meals, her favorite activity.
