Bill’s father was a petroleum engineer who quit working at a drilling company when oil prices dropped, and he was forced to fire many workers. He later met a microbiologist involved in restaurant wastewater management and learned how to treat by injecting microbes.

Bill helped his father sell these microbes and established JGL Solutions in his father’s name after he passed away. “My strength wasn’t being a businessman, it was knowing the microbes and how they’re applied and sales, I was pretty good at sales, but it was only because I believed in what the product did,” Bill said. He added that his faith in the Lord contributed greatly to his success.

JGL’s values include honesty, a spirit of excellence, pride in their work, and integrity. Bill explained, “There’s always times when you kind of have to bite the bullet money-wise to do the right thing.” He continued, “But it’s really not even a hard thing to do. It’s just part of your DNA.”

The Lantz's are not just leading a business, but leading a group of people. Bill focuses on creating meaningful relationships with employees by helping them through personal struggles. Tami’s goal for the future of the company is: “I want our employees to feel more and more like a family.”

JGL’s mission is “To revolutionize the oilfield with the most effective, yet sustainable solutions.” Most of the industry doesn’t know what microbes can do, so Bill believes JGL will continue to grow rapidly.
