ABOUT THE OWNERS

With collars as blue as the Arizona sky, Dave and Donna hail from Midwestern steel industry stock. Both chased dreams all the way to California, where they eventually met and forged a new life in the warm sunshine. After finding personal success, in 2007, they were drawn to Sonoitas wide-open landscape and small-town feel. Dave and Donna knew right away the dusty, dotted landscape was as much home to them as the gritty steel towns they both grew up in. Gravel roads became their new fast lane and coyote crossings their only traffic jams.      Dave, an entrepreneur, is a former motorcycle racing team and shop owner, engineer/mechanic, tool and die maker and welder. He a true guy of gadgets. Donna is a former executive vice president in the professional beauty industry, and a nationally recognized marketing and business consultant. Theirs is literally the story of beauty and the beast, a builder and a dreamer setting down roots in a town that felt like home, before the doormat was kicked into place.     Together theyve used their skills, the mechanic, and the visionary, to build Sonoita Propane into a reliable, always-on-the ready supplier of affordable energy. And theyre doing so with that blue collar pride and commitment to family, community, and hometown values.

Production

Propane is a by-product of both natural gas processing and crude oil refining. Most of the propane consumed in the United States is produced in North America. Propane is produced from liquid components recovered during processing of natural gas; including components of ethane, methane, propane, and butane, as well as heavier hydrocarbons. Propane and butane, along with other gases, are also produced during crude oil refining. 

  Distribution

Propane is shipped from its point of production to bulk distribution terminals via pipeline, railroad, barge, truck, or tanker ship. Propane marketers fill trucks at the terminals and distribute propane to end users, including retail fuel sites.  ​  To the right, you will find a graphic of the typical distribution route. Who would have ever thought it took this many steps to heat your home and light your stove??
