As the chief executive officer and president of Obeo, Glade Jones is the company visionary who sets its strategic direction. He is also chairman of the board and chief liaison with outside board members, overseeing leadership accountability and partner relationship building.

Glade has been actively working and leading out in the real estate industry for the last 18 years. He has served as president of Calute Homes, a homebuilding and land development company in Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as the vice president of Blackburn Jones Real Estate and Development.

A lifelong entrepreneur, Glade started a company in 2000 that, after a merger with Andy Evan’s company, became what is now Obeo Inc. Both saw an opportunity to make the process of finding and personalizing a home a more rewarding and exciting experience.

Glade has an undergraduate degree and an MBA from Brigham Young University where he graduated magna cum laude with distinction.

Glade has an awesome wife Tonya and 4 incredible kids: Aubree-Freshman in College, Baylee-9^th grade, Ethan-7^th Grade, Camden-5^th grade. He spends his weekends at kids little league games, doing yard work and playing with the family. Glade and Tonya and the kids love to travel and have had some breathtaking experiences around the world. Glade loves to be at Lake Powell enjoying watersports, camping, fishing and family. He is a big Scouter and heads up a scout troop in his neighborhood. He is found at scout camp every summer helping his troop get their Eagles. He is active in athletics and his kids sports as well as his faith and community.

Glade likes to think that the inspiration that drives his thinking within Obeo revolves around the ideal that ” home” is an important metaphor for family, growing, learning, loving and enjoying life…therefore the experience of buying, owning and personalizing a home should be looked at as part of a much more important  picture.
