When Jonnie was 8 his parents made the decision to move to Arizona part time, he graduated from Moon Valley High School.

Looking to get into the construction industry. His search led him to General Acrylics. With Jonnie’s athletic background, sports construction struck a cord and in October of 1987 he purchased the business from it’s founder, Dick Hoover. From that point on Jonnie worked tirelessly to grow General Acrylics into one of the premier sports facility construction companies in the U.S.
