Congratulations to Dave Jones, Inc. apprentices for taking part in the 2016 Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. Apprenticeship Skills Competition! Out of our five apprentices that competed, 3 of them finished in the top 3 of their categories!

A very special congratulations goes out to Sam Jones who took 1st place in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) category and will now be representing the State of WI at the National Competition in Ft. Lauderdale in March! We’ve had plumbing apprentices make it to National’s in the past, but Sam is our first HVAC Apprentice to do so.

Good luck Sam, and congratulations to Brandon Nicholson, Chase McBride, Danny Elver, and Ted Wipperfurth for representing the Dave Jones organization so proudly!
