Neil Brown started a career in water well drilling in 1972 working for a company in the Barrie area. Later he moved to a company that travelled across Canada doing larger municipal, industrial & mining waterwells, dewatering wells, and exploration drilling.
Getting tired of travelling Neil settled in Emsdale in 1986 working for a company that drilled mostly domestic wells. In 1998 Neil struck out on his own doing pump service work, well repairs and de-comissioning work.
Neil's son Brian joined him in 2000 and thought well drilling should be resumed. We have been drilling wells ever since.
