Lucas Barnes founded Noble Barnes in January 2018, inspired and encouraged by his parents, who challenged him to start his own business shortly after his 13th birthday. Raised with the values of dedication, hard work, and integrity, Lucas began brainstorming business ideas with his family in their living room. Their conversations centered around his passions—animals, community, and people—and from those early discussions, a dream began to take shape.

The name Noble Barnes was a thoughtful creation. Drawing from his family name, Barnes, and the meaning of his middle name, “Noble One,” Lucas crafted a brand that reflected both his heritage and the character he strives to embody.

Lucas’s foundation in service and leadership began even earlier. At just 9 years old, he joined the Young Marines and completed boot camp on his 10th birthday. His time in the organization opened doors to new career paths, community service opportunities, and valuable educational experiences. Through the Young Marines, Lucas developed unwavering discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills. He eventually retired as a Staff Sergeant, having earned a prestigious National Merit Award.

In his childhood, Lucas dreamed—like many young boys—of becoming a soldier. As he matured, his aspirations shifted toward aviation. His involvement with groups such as the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association), the Young Eagles program, and the Young Marines laid a solid foundation for this passion. As he entered his teenage years, Lucas experienced a powerful shift in perspective, recognizing the importance of focusing on his future goals in aviation.

Animals have always held a special place in Lucas’s heart. For the past seven years, he has volunteered at Rockwall Adoption, spending time walking, playing with, and promoting animals in need of homes. Leveraging the Noble Barnes business platform, Lucas and his team highlight adoptable animals on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, helping bring community awareness to pets looking for loving families.

What began as a modest idea in a living room has since grown into a thriving family-run enterprise. Over the years, Noble Barnes has employed more than 50 individuals, and both of Lucas’s parents now work full-time alongside him. The growth of the business and the support from the community have far exceeded anything Lucas imagined when he first began.

Balancing intensive pilot training with the demands of a rapidly expanding business has not been easy, yet Lucas’s perseverance continues to guide him forward. He challenged himself academically through advanced AP and STEM classes, firmly believing that education plays a defining role in shaping one’s future.

From early skill-building experiences to his current pursuits in aviation and entrepreneurship, Lucas has embraced the belief that hard work, dedication, and passion are essential ingredients for success. Looking ahead, he is committed to building upon everything he has learned—ready to grow, innovate, and seize new opportunities with enthusiasm.

Lucas is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Minor in Aviation Management at LeTourneau University.

Daniel's journey into the world of business began with his studies in business management at the University of Houston. Before joining Noble Barnes, he delved into the international trade of heavy machinery, gaining invaluable experience in import and export operations.

At Noble Barnes, Daniel spearheads the landscaping division, bringing to the table a unique blend of business acumen and expertise in machinery. His leadership has proven instrumental in driving the company's success, ensuring that every task is accomplished with precision and excellence.

Beyond the boardroom, Daniel finds joy in family adventures, particularly road trips with his loved ones. He cherishes moments of tranquility amidst nature, often retreating to the family land in East Texas for fishing and hunting excursions.

With a steadfast dedication to his role and a passion for family and outdoor pursuits, Daniel embodies the spirit of Noble Barnes both in and out of the workplace.
