About Us
JWHIT Construction, LLC was established in 2017 by John Cooper Whitman and Jared Whitaker.
Cooper began his work in the industry on the Texas Gulf Coast in 2005 as general labor in the refineries, an experience that afforded Cooper a solid trade foundation and the financial ability to attend Sam Houston State University.
Cooper graduated from Sam Houston State University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and post-graduation, Cooper jumped on an opportunity to do right for himself and the environment.
There was oil spilling from an incident in the Gulf.
Cooper dedicated six months to the remediation efforts which furthered his understanding of the demand for industry and ethical responsibility that professionals must relentlessly practice.
Cooper’s next five years were spent managing cost, labor, and operations for pipeline construction in South Texas.
Throughout his entire upbringing, Jared was raised and worked in a ranching family on the Texas Gulf Coast.
From that experience, Jared was able to learn and appreciate the production of resources.
Whether that resource is rice, beef, crude oil, or land, Jared was able to firsthand understand that professional and ethical practices are absolutely imperative if we expect to sustain our environment.
After attending Texas A&M University, Jared earned a Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness and a minor in Economics in 2011. Jared began his foundation in construction by selling and delivering heavy equipment across the State of Texas.
This experience allowed him to understand the function of heavy equipment and build relationships with the professionals that utilize heavy equipment such as bulldozers as a resource to create the modern infrastructure we enjoy today.
Cooper and Jared’s friendship began early on as classmates, competitors in athletics, and fellow outdoorsmen.
In 2016, Cooper and Jared decided to act on their individual career experiences, love for everything outdoors, and mutual entrepreneurial ambition and JWHIT Construction, LLC began operations in 2017.
The aforementioned industry background and passion for the outdoors was the driver for JWHIT’s chosen area of services provided and methods of site preparation work used.
It is JWHIT’s purpose to assist individuals and professionals in completing their projects while leaving the land, resources, and environment in its most sustainable and productive condition.
Once site preparation services have been completed, if the land appears and functions to the highest of it’s capabilities, we have done our job!
