William Vollbracht

William Vollbracht was born on June 26, 1938, in Wichita, KS. He attained a degree in business administration from the University of Kansas before moving to Colorado and beginning his career as a salesman for City-Wide Mortgage Company. In 1963, he moved to Security Title of Adams County.

Four years later, in 1967, he started Land Title Company of Colorado with five employees. Today, Land Title serves as a beacon in Colorado business. Apart from his work at Land Title, Vollbracht used his entrepreneurial spirit to co-found Alpine Banks, a bank holding company, in 1972, and Steel Street Bank in 2003.

Vollbracht grew up with an intense love for the Centennial State, having spent his summers at his family’s cabin in Chipita Park, near Colorado Springs. He owned several ranches in Evans. That love for Colorado was further demonstrated in his volunteer work as a board member and former chairman of Colorado Open Lands, which works to preserve undeveloped land.
​
Vollbracht also had a deep love for education, as evidenced by his almost seven years as a commissioner for the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and his work to accelerate the construction of the Fitzsimons Medical Center.

Both personally and through Land Title, Vollbracht brought his success back to the community. One of his charitable contributions included support for the National Western Scholarship Trust, which enabled 61 young men and women to further their higher education in agribusiness or rural medicine.

Vollbracht and his wife, Leslie, also founded the Vollbracht Family Foundation, which offers support to many local charitable organizations.
The Colorado Business Hall of Fame is co-presented by
Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain Inc. and the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
