Barron Wade Jones, a name that resonates with resilience, determination, and the spirit of adventure, embodies the very essence of Naples Lifestyle. Born in the midwest in the quaint town of Evansville, Indiana, Barron's life journey has taken him from humble beginnings to global success, with Naples, Florida, at the heart of his inspiring story and has since ventured even further to Dubai, where he continues to make his mark.
Growing up with his brother Chad, sister Sara, and parents Jeriann and Rick, Barron learned the value of hard work and family early on. His journey began with a humble start at the age of 16, when he grew up in Newburgh, Indiana for his first job at Dairy Queen which laid the foundation for his work ethic. But life had bigger plans for Barron. At a young age, Barron's ambition knew no bounds. After high school, Barron went to community college in Evansville, which did not turn out well so he left it. After community college he tried University, after 2.5 years he failed school and ended up as a college dropout at the University of Western Kentucky in Bowling Green, Kentucky. After college, he had no choice but to work. Barron started working in a factory in the middle of Tennessee for 7 days a week, 14 hours a day, just to make ends meet. He realized the pursuit of his dreams required sacrifice. Barron saved his money and embarked on a nomadic adventure that took him to many cities from the sunny shores of Los Angeles to the musical heart of Nashville, and later the vibrant streets of Miami that led him to Naples, Florida.
Barron's journey took a pivotal turn when he co-founded Trike Tours USA in Naples, Florida a business venture that would reshape his life and inspire countless others from all parts of the world. The story of Trike Tours USA began almost serendipitously. Barron and his business partner initially embarked on a different entrepreneurial path, running a cooking show and selling cookware. However, fate had other plans when they stumbled upon scooters while working at a flea market in Fort Myers, which sparked their curiosity.
Undaunted by initial setbacks, Barron and his partner invested in six scooters, hoping to turn a profit. But sales remained elusive, and they even faced expulsion from a trade show in Tampa Bay. The scooters languished in their garage for months, until a visit to downtown Naples changed everything. While on a segway tour of the picturesque city, Barron found his inspiration. He envisioned a new way to explore Naples, and thus, the concept of Trike Tours USA was born.
Starting a tourism business from scratch was no easy feat, and Barron's journey was fraught with challenges. He diligently distributed flyers on 5th Avenue for weeks, facing skepticism and indifference. However, his determination paid off when he received the first phone call from a flyer in December 2017. He found a store available in Tin City in January 2018, and built the store from scratch with the help of his best friend. Today, Trike Tours USA is one of Naples' most popular tourist attractions, offering a range of experiences that showcase the city's beauty, history, and culture. You can take the tour today located inside Tin City Shops next to the ice cream store.
Today, Barron resides in Dubai. In the heart of the desert, he's made his mark in Dubai, one of the greatest leading real estate markets in the world. While selling millions in real estate and forging connections with influential figures he's also ventured into the oil and gas industry, further expanding his horizons. He has built many connections including, local Sheiks, the government of Africa to royal families of Saudi Arabia, and that’s just to name a few. As if his journey couldn't get any more diverse, Barron's passion for music, spanning genres from country to EDM to Trance, hip-hop, rock and even to old classics, this has led him to become a music producer. His latest creation, last month "Into My World," is on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This is a proven testament to his artistic prowess.
