From the Ground Up: Leading Daystar Drilling Into a Stronger Future

At Daystar Drilling, our foundation isn't just in the ground-it's in our values. Since day one, we've believed in doing work that honors faith, family, and the people we serve.

That mission continues today under the leadership of Jerry Watson III, who has helped grow Daystar into one of Central Indiana's most trusted drilling partners. Now, with a strong new partnership behind us, Jerry is leading Daystar into its next chapter-backed by CST Utilities , a respected underground utility contractor based in Columbus, Ohio.

Leading With Faith and Focus

As the owner of Daystar Drilling, Jerry understands the responsibility that comes with every job. Whether it's a commercial site in Noblesville or a complex directional drilling project across Indiana, his goal is always the same: get the job done right, safely, and with integrity.

"Daystar has always been more than a business to me," says Jerry.

"It's about serving people well-building relationships, showing up with purpose, and doing work we're proud of."
- Jerry Watson III, Division Manager, Daystar Drilling

That same mindset led him to partner with CST Utilities.

Why CST Was the Right Fit

When looking toward the future, Jerry knew Daystar needed a partner that wouldn't compromise what made the company special. That's exactly what CST offered.

"CST didn't want to change who we are-they wanted to come alongside us, support us, and help us grow. That kind of partnership is rare, and we're grateful for it."
- Jerry Watson III, Division Manager, Daystar Drilling

CST now serves as a silent parent company, offering support behind the scenes without altering the way Daystar operates day-to-day. The leadership, field team, and faith-first approach remain fully intact.

"Daystar has established a solid foundation in Noblesville, and we are proud to contribute to their continued growth. With strong leadership, dedicated teams, and a respected reputation, Daystar is well-positioned for success. Our role is to provide the strategic resources and support necessary to accelerate their expansion."
- Steve Besse, CEO & President, CST Utilities

What This Means for Our Clients

With CST Utilities backing us, Daystar Drilling gains access to:

More equipment and project resources
Broader safety and training programs
Operational support for larger-scale work
A strong, aligned network of utility professionals

But rest assured-we're still Daystar. We still serve Indiana with the same integrity, crews, and commitment to excellence you've come to rely on.

Looking Ahead

"This partnership strengthens everything we're doing," Jerry explains. "It helps us grow responsibly while staying true to our values. We're still running Daystar right here in Noblesville-and we're just getting started."

With a renewed sense of purpose and the right partner behind us, Daystar Drilling is prepared to take on the future-locally rooted and stronger than ever.

Make the most of the season by following these simple guidelines

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 18:52:56 GMT

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.

Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
