Kenneth Jones


Owner/President/CEO

I have been working in the automotive industry my entire working career. I, along with my siblings, Dale Jones & Tina Winborne run the Company which was founded by our father, Bobby Kenneth “Deacon” Jones. Being born and raised in Johnston County where it all began has fostered a special connection to our local communities. As my father did, I truly care about the areas we operate in, and strive every day to contribute to our communities, including the 500 employees who reside here. That’s why I’m “Speakin Deacon”.

CFO

I began “Speakin Deacon” when Mr. Jones purchased the Ford Franchise in 2003. As a CPA, I enjoy the excitement and variety that the automotive dealership industry brings each day. Personally, I have been married forever, and have an “almost” grown daughter. I love the beach and reading, and together it makes for a fabulous fun day!
