Ryan Cochran is the founder of BOLD Precious Metals, a bullion company in Austin built on transparency, education, and long-term trust.
His family has been involved in coin collecting and precious metals for many years, and he brings that experience into a modern business focused on clarity and fairness.

He believes in serving people with integrity, treating customers with honesty, and honoring God in the way decisions are made.
Ryan’s introduction to precious metals began when he was young. His grandfather collected coins and passed down both the coins and a love for craftsmanship, history, and the lasting value of gold and silver.
Over time, that early interest grew into a deeper understanding of authenticity, rarity, minting practices, and why physical assets continue to matter across generations. These values shaped Ryan long before he started BOLD Precious Metals.
Ryan eventually moved from being a hobbyist to gaining industry-level knowledge. He spent years studying the metals markets and learning how pricing works in the real world. His experience includes:
