-Started in the pool business building above ground pools with my future father in law after Tammy and I met in 1997.
When I started building above ground pools with my father in law, I had no clue that the pool business was an actual industry. I remember thinking many times, what happens when everybody has a pool in their yard? I had no idea of the numbers. When I started working for a local pool company learning to build inground pools, I knew I had found something I really enjoyed. But as always seems to be the case, there was a downside. The downside was that I found out the hard way the seasonal nature of the pool business. After having a second company I worked for shut down in '04, I decided along with Tammy and Jeremy to start our own company.
