Founder / Operator / Investor / Wisconsin
I build and operate companies in outdoor products, manufacturing and real estate.
This site is a running record of the work—and the people and places around it.
The short version
I’m Owen R. Jones—a Wisconsin entrepreneur, licensed real estate broker and investor. I serve as CEO of Tommy Docks, am building Forest & Isle Brands and invest through Myridian Capital.
My work sits where physical products, e-commerce, manufacturing and value-add real estate meet. Before business became the main stage, I toured internationally as the drummer of Windsor Drive.
Selected work
I’m most interested in durable businesses, tangible products and teams that care about the details.
Operating platform
A shared home for outdoor-living companies, built around practical products and disciplined operations.
02Marine products
Wisconsin-made waterfront systems for people who want to build, improve and enjoy their own shoreline.
03Private real estate
A Midwest investment platform focused on apartments, self-storage and thoughtful value creation.
Also in the portfolio
A broader set of operating companies and real estate businesses.
A note from the water
Building companies is interesting. Building a life around them is the point.
Family, Wisconsin and time outside keep the work in perspective.
How I work
The work starts with a product, property or service that solves a real problem.
Clear systems and close attention to the ordinary details are usually where the value lives.
The best decisions come from customers, teams and the physical reality of what is being built.
Along the way
Started a Wisconsin brokerage shaped by an owner’s point of view.
Bought a first apartment property and began learning from the operator’s seat.
Helped build a national e-commerce and Wisconsin manufacturing business.
Connecting outdoor brands through shared people, systems and long-term ownership.
Life around the work
I live in Wisconsin with my wife and our three children. Time at home, on the water and outside is the part that keeps everything else in perspective.
The point is not simply to stay busy. It is to build useful things, create more opportunity and make a life with room for the people who matter.
