Humans of Steel Supply: Jason Gunn

Meet Jason Gunn:

Jason is originally from Dickinson, Texas. He’s been working with us for about 19 years and you can find him in Steel Supply’s building in the South location. Jason said he likes to be close and open to all of his clients.

How did you get into the industry?

Jason said his first memories of oil and gas were when his dad would take him as a kid to see his uncle drill wells in East Texas. After college, he met with Juan Martinez at a job fair and was sold on the idea of working for Steel Supply, L.P. “They’ve been taking care of me ever since I started so I’m good here.”

What’s your favorite thing about working at Steel Supply, L.P.?

“The coworkers, hands down. It’s like my second family. While we are extremely efficient, everyone is constantly laughing and joking around. I feel like all departments gel harmoniously. We have a top-notch unit right now.”

What do you bring that’s unique to the company?

I am exceptionally well versed in PVF and structural steel of all alloys. After 19 years, you pick up quite a bit. I also hardly miss a day of work.

Do you have any fun stories since you’ve been working here?

Our Steel Supply Texan’s tailgates are awesome. We always have plenty of good food and drinks! 

You might know Jason as the sales guy but outside the office, he’s a father. What’s your life out of work look like?

Our weekends are pretty low key when we are together. I love to cook for my family and friends, especially when there is a good football or baseball game on TV. Saturday mornings with my girls are the best. I usually have a huge breakfast in the morning and grilling out something in the late afternoon.

Any hobbies you like to do?

“I try to get out on the golf course at least every other weekend. My game is slowly coming together. I just have to get my damn driver on board. SMH”
