Thorne Mcintosh- Owner
Growing up Thorne was fueled by the approval of his older brother and his hard working family members. He was lucky to have a twin sister as a sidekick. From the building blocks that his parents instilled in him he gained hard work from his father and care from his mother. In his youth he was small in stature, however, he made up for this in character and heart, becoming the crazy kid with a passion for competition and people!
He believes anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Due to this he will be up all night breaking down the simplest of a process to make it better, then complain the next morning saying he is tired. His passion for competition led him to play collegiate basketball after his 3 years at Musselman High school. His favorite achievement there he says is meeting his wife Karalyn. Shortly after graduating at the University of Valley Forge he joined the West Virginia Army National Guard. Assigned to a Medical Evacuation Uh-60 Blackhawk company who he deployed with in 2020-21.
Thorne still carries this desire to be the best and bring out the best in those around him to this day. With his role in Top Gun Sealcoating you will quickly see that he is dedicated to the purpose of the business, as well as the customers relationship we establish on each and every job. You’ll spot Thorne by his abnormally tall and slender frame walking to greet you with a smile and a firm handshake. He will probably be singing some song and dancing as he works that has direct correlation. Soon after the job he will be complaining that he is hungry as his high metabolism keeps him wanting food 24/7.
Thorne and his growing family reside in West Virginia where he enjoys the blessings of fatherhood. Calling Berkeley County home for Thorne has been something he has known now for 30 years and he wouldn’t change it for the world.

Connor Williams - Foreman
If you’ve had the opportunity to work with TopGun, you’re first interaction was most likely with our head Foreman in the field, Conner Williams. Not only does he bring a wealth of knowledge to the table, his constant positive attitude shows his true character and charisma, on and off the job.
Building the foundation of his professional experience as a Navy helicopter mechanic, Conner spent his time in the military stationed in San Diego and serving in multiple overseas deployments. Since that time, he has applied the same work ethic and wisdom to learn the ins and outs of the sealcoating industry to bring our Tri-state area the best of the best in service.
It is clear that one of Conner’s favorite parts about his job is the one-on-one customer relationships that we are able to form, especially when the occasional customer leaves snacks or drinks for the crew by the door. To top it off, knowing that he gets to go make a living every day next to some of the best people on the planet is what makes the TopGun lifestyle a fullfilling one for Foreman Williams.
At home, Conner and his wife, their two little kiddos and dog Stella enjoy speding time outdoors as much as they can, or simply doing anything that creates memories, laughter and good times with their family & friends."
