Glenn Jones co-founded Shelterbelt Builders in 1978 and completed over 600 commercial and residential building and landscaping projects during the subsequent 15 years.  Following the re-building efforts of the Oakland Fire of 1994, he led the redirection of Shelterbelt to become the first Bay Area construction company focusing entirely on implementing habitat restoration and wildland vegetation management projects.  With over 30 years of construction business experience, Glenn now acts as Shelterbelt’s chief business advisor.  Glenn still pursues his interest in construction management and building with his company, On Time On Budget Inc, based in La Honda and San Francisco, California.  Glenn is a California licensed general building and landscaping contractor.
