Our company is built on a foundation of hard work, service, and family values. John and Aprill Oberkrom, the founding owners, opened AO Associates, Inc. in 1995.

John grew up in rural Missouri, where his family raised Black Angus cattle and taught him the importance of dedication, responsibility, and doing things the right way. He brings that same work ethic to every client relationship, along with a strong academic background that includes a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, a minor in Math, and a Master’s degree in Computer Science.

Aprill also grew up in rural Missouri, where she developed a passion for helping others and a deep appreciation for community. As a registered nurse, she has spent her life caring for people and making a difference in the lives of others.

John and Aprill were high school sweethearts and have been married since 1986. Together, they built AO Associates as a family-centered business grounded in trust, service, and personal connection. They are proud parents of three successful sons, all living in the Metroplex,
