Pioneer Federal Group was built on the belief that government agencies deserve contractors who take ownership of the mission. We are not driven by excuses. We are driven by execution.
We are veteran-led.
Desi Pelaez Jr enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as one of the first Marines in his family and served as an Aviation Supply Specialist at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, and MCAS Miramar, California. During his service, he worked across logistics, financial accounting, warehouse operations, and squadron supply support, gaining firsthand experience in the systems and processes that keep mission-critical operations moving.
In addition to his logistics responsibilities, Desi served as a Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructor, training and mentoring fellow Marines while reinforcing the discipline and accountability that shape his approach to business today.
Pioneer Federal Group was founded alongside longtime friend and business partner Jonas Moreno. While Desi developed his experience through military service, Jonas built his through hands-on trades, operations, and entrepreneurship. With a background as a business owner, certified structural steel and pressurized pipe welder, and mechanic, Jonas brings hands-on experience and a strong commitment to quality, safety, and accountability. Together, they share one standard. Do the work right and own the outcome.
Today, Pioneer Federal Group brings that same mindset to federal contracting. Take ownership, communicate clearly, and deliver results clients can depend on.
