About Us

Williams & Conner started as two students, Brady Williams and Troy Conner, studying anesthesia, needing a break from school.  They became fast friends.  Williams had a good recipe and a Ronco dehydrator (cleverly given to his wife for her crafting several Christmas’ prior) and Conner had a taste for quality and spices.  Many sticks of jerky were consumed during those late night study groups.  After graduation, Williams & Conner ended up practicing anesthesia together in Uvalde, Texas.

Williams & Conner began to challenge each other to newer heights, since they no longer had tests to study for.  The first challenge was weight lifting.  Little did they know this would change their lives.  During their workout sessions, they would discuss various work issues, politics, and current events, but the highlight of the day was who had come up with “the next million dollar idea”.  Ideas ranged from kitchen devices, to healthy snack alternatives, and medical modifications.  They would always talk about how their jerky recipe would add value to the lives of not only hunters but those seeking a healthy life style.  A few days into the new year of 2005, Conner issued the ultimate challenge – “Let’s stop talking about our ideas and start doing something about them.”

So, a small make-shift jerky lab was established in the Williams home.  Batch after batch, modification after modification, research on top of research – and Williams & Conner, LLC was born.  Many things were learned: 1) Quality knives are very sharp, 2) Jerky trays must be covered with Teflon overlays before placing meat on them – or clean up is not fun. 3) Meat does not get cut in Williams’ bedroom – even if it is on a cutting block. They have spent the last year and a half preparing for USDA approval and developing a professional look to match their superior product.

 Williams & Conner recently opened the doors of their jerky adventure.  They have been overwhelmed with encouragement and support from the local community and businesses in the area.  The original flavor blend will soon be joined by pecan flavored jerky and all the flavors in single strips as well as “moo-chew”.  Williams & Conner invite you to see, smell, and taste the difference. 

We just know you will change your brand of jerky.

Also, be prepared for WC Pico de Gallo.  This product is another recipe developed over time that has quickly become a must have in your home. 

This is the perfect representation of Southwest Texas – the color and taste of the south on a chip.
