Vice President Operations -- Brent
Jones
Brent Jones is the Vice President in
charge of operations for Pioneer Oil Company. As the son of Donald Jones, he
came on board to assist with the development of the fabricating operations of
the company. Brent Jones noticed his interest in fabricating early. He soon
joined the Hurricane Ditcher Company in Illinois and assisted in the building of
the patented Hurricane Ditcher Equipment by cutting parts in the plant to
dimension for final assembly. After working there for a while, he soon left the
company and started working for himself as a welder in the Lawrenceville,
Illinois area. Upon the request of his father, Donald Jones, he joined the
family business working for Franklin Well Services in the shop; here he focused
on diligently improving his skills as a technician.
Brent soon
applied his skills at welding to fabricating custom equipment to support the Oil
Production effort. Today, nearly all major equipment in the Franklin fleet was
either assembled from the chassis on up or has been customized in some form by
the highly skilled Brent Jones.
