Mike Flynn Sr. founded Flynn Drilling Co., Inc. in March of 1954. He set the company’s standards by establishing a commitment to provide clients with unsurpassed knowledge, experience, service and dependability. His main objective was always to ensure his customers’ 100% satisfaction.
By 1969, through years of sweat and hard work, Mike Flynn Sr. had taken his company to the level of being one of the largest drilling companies in the State of Missouri. Following his unexpected death in an automobile accident in the summer of 1969, his wife, Katy Flynn, was faced with the difficult task of raising six children and running the drilling business. In the midst of a male-dominated field, Katy accepted the challenge and continued to run her husband’s company with the same objectives he had established in 1954.
In December of 1992, Katy passed away after her battle with cancer. She is remembered as a very well-respected business woman by her friends and competitors. Katy’s son, Danny Flynn, presently owns and operates the business that was built on years of sacrifice and hard work by his parents.

Safety first, and it starts young
Flynn is an OSHA certified contractor, and safety is not a poster in the shop — it is how crews are expected to run a rig, a trench and a crane every day of the week. It is also the reason the company is still here after seventy years of hard, heavy work.
In the Troy office
Seventy years, kept on a shelf
The cabinet in the front office at Troy holds the photographs, models and mementos of seven decades of Missouri water — from Mike Sr.’s first rigs to the municipal jobs the crews are running this week.
