In 2007, Dad (Steve) took a leap of faith and started Blackjack Mountain Marketing. I joined him in 2012, and Jon Farquharson came on board in 2025. Over the years we’ve had the opportunity to grow the business together while building strong relationships throughout the industry. BJMM has been shaped by those relationships, the people we’ve worked with, and a commitment to taking care of our customers.

What makes this next step especially exciting is the support and resources that Champions brings to the table. Their inside sales team, back-office support, leadership, and broader portfolio of products will give us a much stronger platform to serve our customers. We’ll be able to spend more time doing what we do best while having a larger team behind us to help make it happen.

I’m excited that Jon Farquharson will be making this transition with us. Jon has been an important part of BJMM and brings more than 16 years of industry experience, including extensive experience in wholesale distribution and working directly with plumbers in the field.

We believe this move puts us in a great position for the future. We’re gaining the backing of a strong organization while continuing to do what has made BJMM successful.

I’m incredibly grateful for what Dad started in 2007 and for the opportunity I’ve had to be part of growing Blackjack Mountain Marketing. I’m proud of what we’ve built together, and I’m excited about what we can build from here with Champions.

We’re not stepping away from what we’ve built - we’re building on it.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Blackjack Mountain Marketing along the way. We’re looking forward to continuing those relationships and seeing how far we can take this next chapter with Champions.
