Diron is the owner and founder of Clements Forestry & Land Management. He started this company after buying a forestry mulcher to clean up around one of his farms. After years of seeing clients struggle to find a company to have their properties cleared, pines thinned, trails cut or just maintained and not having an option for smaller jobs he decided to hire a few people to run his equipment full time. Now, his crew runs a skid steer, forestry mulcher, several large tractors, excavator, and several other pieces of heavy equipment daily depending on the current job. He continues to expand his forestry equipment and heavy equipment fleet to help the public get their real estate ready to market and help new landowners achieve their goals post purchase. This business has allowed Diron to offer another service to the public to help people maintain their land, be able to market their property in their best light or simply enjoy their investment without having to do the work themselves or invest in lots of expensive equipment that they may only use for the one task.
Diron also owns and operates Clements Quarter Horses where he specializes in training and selling champion barrel racing horses. With over 35 years’ experience in the equine industry, he is a nationally ranked and known competitor competing at the highest levels of barrel racing events. He is an active member of the Barrel Futurities of America (BFA), National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) and the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA). He has local, state, national and world championships under his belt while continuing to compete in barrel racing events nationally.
