John Barron

No stranger to hard work, John started out working summers in high school at the original Barron Heating warehouse—sweeping up fiberglass insulation in the shop and even cleaning the bathrooms. But closely following in his father and grandfather's footsteps, he became a part-time sheet metal worker for the family business in 1979. And he's been a pivotal part of the company ever since. John became a journeyman and then a salesman, before stepping up as part-owner of Barron when his parents, Dan and Vivian, retired in 1998. John has a personality that is impossible to miss, with an intensity and passion for what he does and for his employees like no other. He never does anything halfway, and has a love for wrestling, skiing, and spending time on the lake and with his family.
