Jeff McMillian and John Shelton: A Story of Friendship and Entrepreneurship
Jeff McMillian and John Shelton, long-time friends from Stillwater, Oklahoma, share a deep passion for Oklahoma State Cowboy sports and golf. Raised by what they consider the "absolute best parents known to mankind," both Jeff and John were immersed in a variety of sports during their youth, including football, basketball, baseball, swimming, and golf.
Jeff distinguished himself as one of, if not the best, junior golfers in Oklahoma's history. His prowess on the green has translated into both personal satisfaction and business success in the golf industry. John, on the other hand, initially followed in his father's footsteps in homebuilding before pivoting to the import/export business. Here, he has thrived, developing numerous innovative products and companies.
Their lifelong friendship has now given rise to Two Pokes Trading, a venture that celebrates their shared interests and successes. This company not only offers them a platform to further their business acumen but also serves as a means to give back to their cherished Stillwater community as it grows.
