General Info:

Our president’s grandfather Guy Amos started Guy Amos Well Drilling after he acquired 25 years of experience in the well drilling field. After Bruce’s father Gene served in WWII, he began working for his father-in-law and together they expanded the business to include plumbing and heating. By 1958 Gene took over the business due to the illness of Guy and renamed the business Gene Moss and Sons. During the 50s, 60s and 70s Gene’s three sons grew up and worked for the business. After military service in Vietnam where he drilled wells for the Navy due to his experience Darrell, Bruce’s brother, returned back to the family business. In 1972, the business was incorporated as Moss Well Drilling, Inc. with Gene and Darrell as co-owners. Together they grew and prospered the business. Bruce and his other brother Kent both attended college and pursued other careers. 1987 brought a change in Bruce’s life that inspired him to go back to his roots, which brought him back to Moss Well Drilling, Inc. 1988 brought about tragedy Darrell had an unexpected illness that took his life.
