About Colton Owens

I grew up in the Delaware Basin, surrounded by family and role models who worked in oil and gas. Early in life, I learned that good work speaks for itself, that showing up matters, and that integrity carries farther than talk ever will.In 2024, while recovering from a devastating injury and rethinking what kind of work I wanted to stand for, I launched Trustpoint Promotions, a branded merch company built on honesty, reliability, and respect for the people who keep this region running. I was tired of seeing good companies burned by poor service and bad communication, so I built something better.That oilfield work ethic still drives me today. I’m hands-on, mechanically minded, and grounded in the details.I’ve got deep roots in Southeast New Mexico and the oil and gas industry. I take pride in being the kind of person others can count on when the pressure’s on.At Trustpoint, that means clients get a reliable partner who understands their world and delivers gear that works as hard as they do. For me personally, it means staying true to the principles this region was built on: work hard, do it right, and own the results.If that’s how you like to do business, we’ll get along just f••••••••@trustpointpromo.com
