No Fault Personnel

David Brantley (ext. 221) began No Fault in 1974 originally as a tennis court and competitive track construction and surfacing company. Athletic (synthetic) surfacing provided the basis for David's development of the first poured-in-place safety surface designed specifically for playgrounds in the United States. In the mid to late 1980's, the demand by the quick service restaurants coupled with new "impact" guidelines issued by the Consumer Product Safety Council (CPSC) established No Fault's unique reputation in the national and eventually international playground markets.
Jay Ratelle (ext. 211) joined No Fault in September 1989 and is the Director of Operations. Jay has been involved in over 7 million square feet of surfacing in 7 different countries. He and his wife of 23 years, Jennifer, have two daughters, Jene'e and Jessica. Jay enjoys to cook, golf and fish.
Carlton Jones (ext 225) has worked with No Fault in various capacities beginning back in the 1970’s.  Carlton was involved heavily with the tennis and track industry while with No Fault, and was a certified tennis court and track builder with No Fault in the 1980’s.  When No Fault’s first safety surface (SAF DEK) was developed, Carlton played a key role in that effort, and was Marketing Director for a period of time.  In addition, Carlton developed an IT Division for one of Baton Rouge’s largest technology companies, and all of this gives Carlton a diverse background in sports surfacing and marketing.

Carlton is active in his local church and he and his wife, Sharon, have a ministry called “Guitar Ministries” where they donate guitars to missionaries all over the world. They have two daughters, one son, and nine grandchildren.
