Donnie founded the company
with the help of long time business partner and friend Nancy Malone.

Nancy has been with Quality Pets, Inc. since the beginning in February of 1986. I've been with QPI from day 1. Having worked in almost every position in the company, I have a fair idea of how this operation runs. I've been in sales for the last few years and now proudly manage the inside sales force. I'm usually heavily involved in any extra projects (i.e. trade shows, open houses, etc.) In my private life (such as it is), I'm an avid hockey fan and attend every home game of the OKC Blazers. .

 Hello, I'm Carl's car. I am a 1970 SS396 El Camino. When he's not busy buying, selling, and taking care of reptiles, he enters me in car shows. He  spends his spare time painting, polishing and repairing things on me because a 34 year old car always needs something fixed. Before he started restoring me, he studied centipedes and wrote a book on them. He has worked for various animal hospitals and worked for the Oklahoma City Zoo for 8 years in the reptile department where he got the Galapagos tortoise program going. If you have a question about a six-legged, eight-legged, many-legged, or no-legged animal, him and he will try and answer it.
