Pitner Drilling & Pump Inc

About

Don Pitner began working in the drilling industry in 1961. In the 1970s Don bought into a drilling company in Washington State. During this time, Don drilled many wells for municipalities, cities, and development companies in Washington and Oregon, along with domestic household wells for private land owners. Don eventually sold his shares in that company back to the founding family and started his own drilling company, Pitner Drilling. During the early years of Pitner Drilling, Don took the company to Arlington Oregon to drill for Waste Management. Over the course of around nine years, Don drilled approximately 500 wells. In the early 1990s, Don moved the company back to Washington State. Out of necessity for high quality service of his wells being drilled for domestic customers, Don decided to start installing pumps in the wells his company drilled. Since then, the company has become a full service drilling and pump company, Pitner Drilling & Pump. A Family Business Don Pitner is the father of six children three girls and three boys. Over the course of Don's drilling career, all six of his children have worked in the family business. All of Don's boys are drillers. Mike Pitner is Don's youngest son and has worked for Don since he was old enough to do so. Mike now has two boys of his own. Mike received his driller’s license in 1995 at the age of 22. Over the course of the past 15 years, Mike has earned a partnership in Pitner Drilling & Pump. Mike has now taken over the leadership of Pitner Drilling & Pump, while Don remains an active participant of the company.
