Joe Kingsley

Joseph Kingsley  (1969-2020) was a businessman from the Angels Republic state of Tilden. Born in the small town of McKittrick, he started his first business at 17; a lumber business in which he collected wood and planted trees in the hills of southwestern Tilden. The business ran out of money within a year. After a few other failed businesses in the next few years, he became a scavenger, and started a business in which he collected old firearms, repaired them, and sold them to the Angels Republic military. He used the money from this business start a new water business which he called Clear Springs Water in 1991. He hired mercenaries to seize control of unclaimed lakes and springs around Tilden. By 2006, he wiped out all competition in southern California, and Clear Springs Water effectively had a monopoly on water.
