Mr. Herbert “Herb or Herbie” William Jones, son of Carl and Genevieve Jones was born June 19, 1958 in Indianapolis, IN. He attended IPS School 36 and graduated from Arsenal Technicalz High School. He received his Associates in Business Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2004. Herb was baptized at Jones Tabernacle AME Zion Church in 1990.

He was united in holy matrimony to Karen Ann Simmons in September of 1990.

Herb had a successful career that included working for Jani-King Cleaning and Janitorial Service and other companies in Indianapolis. In the early 2000s, he pursued his dream of starting his own janitorial company, Well Done Services. Later, Herb expanded his enterprise by acquiring FiberExperts. As the Owner and Director of Operations, he operated the company on Christian principles and believed that serving others is the cornerstone to building a successful business and living a successful life.

Herb lived these values by serving his community as a basketball and football coach for Lawrence Township Football League (LTFL), Lawrence Township Basketball League (LTBBL), and Eastern Star Church. His company, Well Done Services, was an annual sponsor of the t-ball program at Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church.
