Scott Stoneham is the Founder of Lonestar Bucket Trucks, a company based in Fort Worth, TX., that provides bucket trucks and other specialized vehicles for industries like electric power line services and outdoor utilities. In addition to his role at Lonestar Bucket Trucks, he serves as the President of Lonestar Enterprises Limited, a holding company he established to manage various business ventures in the automotive and utility vehicle sectors. Scott’s success can be attributed to his sharp marketing skills and unique approach to business, which allowed him to transition from selling high-end automobiles to distributing heavy machinery and commercial trucks. Since launching his utility vehicle dealership, Scott’s company has seen consistent growth, making him a recognized name in a niche market.

Stoneham’s career is even more remarkable given the personal challenges he has faced. In 2012, he suffered a severe spinal cord injury after falling 14 feet through a collapsed deck, breaking both his legs and his shoulder and damaging his L3 vertebrae. Following a 12-hour surgery, Scott spent nearly two years in a wheelchair and underwent extensive physical therapy, working tirelessly to regain the ability to walk. Despite these setbacks, his determination never faltered. Today, while living with a spinal cord injury, he continues to lead a fulfilling life, grateful for the chance to walk and live with relative normalcy. He attributes his recovery to the Grace of God, his medical team, and his willpower.

The personal challenges Scott faced only strengthened his business resolve. His "never give up" attitude has driven his decisions, allowing him to navigate economic challenges and market shifts with determination. Whether facing difficult economic climates or changes in the market, he has remained committed to delivering exceptional customer service and business development. Scott’s background at Texas Tech University’s Rawls College of Business helped him develop strategic thinking and business acumen, which he continues to apply to his ventures.

Scott’s path to success began at Texas Tech, where he entered the automotive financing industry. His ability to exceed customer expectations and close deals quickly earned him promotions, eventually leading to roles such as Finance Manager, Finance Director, and Director of Sales. After completing his degree, Scott joined Van Tuyl Automotive, a privately held dealership Berkshire Hathaway Automotive later acquired.
