Jim Fonner
Administration Manager
Jim has managed several operations and owned a few companies during his career. His background in furniture manufacturing started at N. C. State University. After graduation, he went on to work for some of the wood product giants like Masonite, Boise Cascade and The Weyerhaeuser Company. In his leisure time, camping in West Virginia, hunting on his farm in Virginia, and fishing at the Outer Banks in North Carolina have been his favorite activities. In 1998, he moved to Orlando, Florida to join his friend, Jake, to start up a new venture selling outdoor furniture to hotels, resorts, and apartment communities. By focusing on superior client services, full performance products, and competence in all phases of the operation, the new venture, Jake Brothers, Inc., vaulted to prominence. After six years of impressive growth, Jim decided that it was time to get back to family and the tall forests in the Appalachian Mountains. So in 2005, Jim merged the assets of Jake Brothers, Inc into a new corporation in Virginia and called it ParknPool Corp. Since the move, ParknPool has grown fourfold because of his relentless belief that giving the best value for clients improves their profitability and insures their satisfaction. |
