Ron Robb (Founder)

After working 17 years in the Oilfield, Ron decided to try his hand at marketing the finished product.  In 1982 he formed Sundance Fuels, Ltd.  At that time all he knew was the drilling industry so his relationship with the drillers is where he started.  He soon became a Citgo Marketer which lasted for over 26 years.  Along the way Sundance began its relationship with its current owner, Randy Yearout.  This relationship resulted in an exclusive distributorship for Petro-Canada America Lubricants in the Houston market.  Also along the way Ron expanded his business to fuels and specialty products such as metal working fluids, heat transfer fluids, refrigerant oils, and hard to find products. In October 2007, Ron and Randy completed the sale of the company and today he is still assisting Randy with the transition of ownership.  Ron still enjoys the day to day operation of Sundance (in small doses) and will remain involved well into the future.

Randy Yearout (President/Owner)

Randy joined Sundance in October 2007 as the new owner.  The acquisition of Sundance consummated a 6 year relationship with the business and the founder Ron Robb.  Randy served as the District Sales Manager for Petro-Canada America Lubricants and was responsible for establishing the supplier/distributor relationship which we enjoy today.  During these 6 years Randy had responsibility of growing the brand awareness and sales of Petro-Canada in the Houston market.  Teaming with Sundance proved to be an extremely good fit and both Petro-Canada and Sundance were rewarded with steady growth.

Randy is a self proclaimed "oil brat".  He was a third generation major oil company employee before joining Sundance.  He began his career in 1988 with Mobil Pipeline Company and prior to the acquisition of Sundance held various engineering, maintenance and sales jobs within Mobil, ExxonMobil and Petro-Canada.  Randy posses extensive knowledge in the manufacture, formulation, logistics and technical applications of all commercial and industrial lubricants and greases.  Randy earned his engineering degree from Texas Tech University in 1988.
