Keith Jones founded JB Wholesale Roofing & Building Supplies Inc. in 1979 in Chatsworth, California. After working for several years with suppliers who did not understand the needs of their customers, Jones was determined to build a business based on relationships. Without any startup money, he began making transactions guaranteed with a handshake— the same philosophy that guides the company today. Jones has always been a hard worker and was employed as an ironworker before being drafted. He served in Vietnam and was awarded a Purple Heart for wounds he received in an explosion. “When I came back, I needed to do something to get my right arm working again,” he explains. ”I started shingling and kept going along for a few years before joining up with a different distributing company. I founded my own a few years later because I knew I could better serve roofers.” Encouraged by the same energy and work ethic that helped Keith build the company from the ground up, his son Brian Jones is now an influential leader in JB Wholesale’s future growth and continued development, along with the help of a strong team of managers dedicated to the company’s continued success.
