Business of the Month

Brian K. Gorum-State Farm Insurance

February 2024


Brian and Amy Gorum moved to Vernal in April 2000 without knowing anyone in the state - they were just looking for an opportunity. 

While Amy taught school, Brian began his agency career. Brian wholeheartedly believes in State Farm's motto – “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there”. Brian also believes in giving back to the community that supports you.

As a small business owner, Brian started with the Chamber of Commerce - He was President of the Chamber from 2006/2007 and was awarded the Citizen of the Year in 2005. He continues to be on the Legislative Committee and a member of the Dinah-Mites.

Brian is a Mason & Shriner - he was named Utah Shriner of the Year in 2015.

Brian recently retired from the Uintah Fire District where he was chairman of the Fire District board for 14 of his 15 years on the board.

Brian is an active member of the Vernal Rotary Club and has held several state offices. He has gone on seven humanitarian missions to Central and South America.

In 2022, State Farm's 100th anniversary, Brian was recognized as one of the top one hundred agents (out of 20,000 agents) for his leadership and community service. 

Brian met President Ronald Reagan in 1979 and has been a staunch Republican to this day. He has been a state or county delegate for the last 24 years and served two terms as Uintah County Republican party chair. He ran unsuccessfully as District 26 State Senate in 2018. Even without a win, it was one the best experiences of his life!

With all the committees, clubs, and meetings - the most fun Brian has is reading with school kids and being a coach with the Special Olympics.

The Public Relations Committee of the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce is very pleased to present Business of the Month to Brian K. Gorum-State Farm Insurance for the many years of supporting and contributing to our community. “Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm is There.”

Business of the Month Pure Bliss Day Spa January 2024 Pure Bliss Day Spa offers massage therapy services with multiple massage therapists under one roof. Stephanie first started her career with a private practice out of her home when she was 19 years old. She had a dream of just one space with multiple massage therapists working together, while still having the freedom to offer different specialties and making their own schedules. Stephanie’s dream became a reality shortly after her marriage to Garth. They officially started Pure Bliss Day Spa on November 1, 2015. Eight years later, they have grown and grown and are still going strong. They currently have seven active massage therapists, with 5 treatment rooms, including a large couple’s room to offer couples massages. Massages are by appointment only, Monday through Saturday. The staff at Pure Bliss also enjoy participating in various community events where they offer chair massages to the public. Every Christmas Pure Bliss picks some families to sponsor as well as donating numerous gift certificates to raffles and sports organizations throughout the year. Pure Bliss appreciates this recognition and is very honored and proud to be a successful business in the Uintah Basin. The Public Relations Committee of the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present Business of the Month to Pure Bliss Day Spa.

Business of the Month November 2023 Dinosaur Inn and Suites Dinosaur Inn & Suites is a locally owned family run business in Vernal. Originally, in 1929, the owners of the property had cabins built so that travelers coming through the area could have a place to stay. Eventually, those cabins were torn down by the owners and the current buildings that sit on the property now were added through the years. After being run by the same family for three generations, the historic property unfortunately closed in 2016. The appeal of bringing this piece of history back to life and sharing all the amazing things there are to do in the area with travelers from all over the world encouraged Cody, who had worked in the oilfield for 17 years and wanted to be able to be home with his family more, to make a career change. Cody and Shalene Bullock, long time Vernal residents, decided to quit their jobs, buy, and reopen the property in October 2017. Shalene’s grandfather had been the head maintenance man for many years
