I started with Tampa Bay Pool in the summer of 2004. In the winter of 2004, my wife and I decided to relocate to Florida. I interviewed with 25 companies between the Tampa, Orlando and Sarasota areas, and was offered 24 jobs. I felt what really set Tampa Bay Pools apart from the competition was it was a young, family-owned company; not fixed in old-style ways. It was a growing company that truly cared about their customers.

Prior to joining Tampa Bay Pools, I owned my own pool construction, service and retail company in New England for 6 years. I also managed a couple of pool construction and service companies in New England and the Midwest for 10 years prior to that.

SPECIAL SKILLS: Unlike most pool designers and "sales reps," I've actually physically built pools myself. I'll work with a prospective customer for as long as it takes to makes sure they understand why and how things are done, from design, functionality and aesthetics. Price matters, but so does how it's built and what will be done to make each homeowner's life easier down the road.

Why I Prefer & Recommend Tampa Bay Pools: This company has a sincere dedication to making sure each customer is happy with the end product.
