Founder and C.E. Bro

Doug Banker is the founder and CEO of BroBible, a multi-platform men's lifestyle brand that entertains online and activates offline. Doug founded BroBible in February 2009 as an online destination for men and has since added event and concert promoter, TV producer, and published author to his resume. Doug attended the University of Richmond, where he played for the men's varsity tennis team and began cultivating his itching entrepreneurial spirit through the university’s School of Leadership Studies. Prior to launching BroBible, Banker and a friend started a music production imprint called Katai Capital, where they worked with up-and-coming hip-hop artists and producers. Two years later, the duo began managing a boutique recording studio in Times Square, where they hosted album-release parties and an array of other events for the artists. The events gained popularity and visibility among the male demographic and Banker realized he was sitting on a unique opportunity to reach and impact a notoriously hard-to-tackle group of individuals. He launched BroBible to offer a one-stop hub to keep up with the latest news and trends, seek advice, share exploits, attend events, and relish in the glory of being a Bro. Most recently, Doug founded Five All in the Fifth, a production house designed to foster BroBible's TV, feature film, and digital productions.
