Hi there, Tammy here. Gosh, I have been helping build swimming pools as long as I can remember. One of my first memories of pool building was while I was helping my dad, who was an installer for a major pool company in IL. Anyway, back to my story, I was helping hold the wall, and had to move around the pool, tripped, and down came the pool wall, come to think of it, I don’t remember my dad asking me to help after that (don't I wish?).
That takes us to 1997, when I met Nathan, we started dating and 11 days later he asked me to marry him, yes, 11 days from our first date, he’s a smart man, just sayin. Shortly thereafter my dad had Nathan helping him build pools; you can read Nathan's post to find out more on his history of pool building.
So, Nathan and I got hitched 4 months after he proposed. Moved to the country, we adopted two amazing kids, then we needed a bigger house and that brought us to Logan. Once we adopted the kids, I gave up my job as site superintendent, (Nathan and Jeremy say I was the chair holder downer, I get no love). I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom, so now I work from home, and am still able to be here with our amazing kids.
What am I doing now?
That brings me to my current position as Office Manager. I am available to answer any question you may have. If I do not know the answer, I will be happy to find out, or simply have Nathan or Jeremy give you a call with the information you need. Our goal is to give you, the consumer, as much information as possible to help you make the best decision for your family when considering the purchase of a swimming pool. So basically, I am the brains behind the operation (no matter what Nathan and Jeremy say). Happy Pool learning!
If you don’t find what you’re looking for on our site, give me a call, I will be waiting…. 740-385-POOL (7665)
Interesting things about me… hmmm....
I was born and raised in Illinois. I went to Private/Christian schools from 4th grade through 8th. I graduated from Groveport Madison High school. I took Dental Assisting as an elective at Eastland Career Center. I attended Indiana Bible College and studied Christian Education. I have worked for Dentists and Ophthalmologist’s (I am obsessed with teeth), at the Ophthalmologists office I gave the test called a GDX (looks at the optic nerve behind your eye), it was the first one in Columbus, and I operated the Visual Field test (the annoying one where you have to push the button when the light blinks).
What do I do for fun?
I love, love, LOVE to be outside, swim, (imagine that) fish, camp and garden. I also like to can produce, usually that I buy or people give me because I’m not so great at gardening- YET! I canned our own spaghetti sauce, apple butter, applesauce, grape jelly, strawberry jam, apple pie filling and pizza sauce, and of course green beans. I'm sure you could guess, but I also love Amish Country!
I love to hike at Old Man’s Cave; sitting by a fire is my therapy, I hate to be inside, totally not a winter person (unless I am taking pictures), anytime it is not freezing cold you can find us outside doing something. I went to El Salvador on a mission’s trip with my Dad. I’ve been to Alaska twice, I am dying to go to Hawaii,(hint Nathan) and I have this crazy urge to experience New York city, I grew up near Chicago, and loved big cities until I married Nathan and quickly became a country girl. I also love to sew/ quilt, read, I make jewelry and I love to take pictures, mostly outside, of flowers, birds and animals, and of course my kids. I am not a shopper, (unless you count Wal-Mart), and I don’t know a stranger, if you’ve met me, you know my life story, ALL of it… Oh, and my favorite color is HOT PINK!
Why do I love being a part of Edwards Pools?
Because I know that we are going to do our best to help our customers enjoy their experience with us, and ultimately their pool. Also, because our clients are not just dollar signs to us, we care about people. We are family people, and know that we are helping produce backyards that will help to make many memories for our clients for many years to come.
Why is excellent customer service at Edwards Pools a must for me?
Our excellent customer service at Edwards Pools is a must for me because I was raised "do unto others as you would have done unto you", and since I love to get excellent customer service, I want to treat others how I would want to be treated, and besides, happy customers are the best referral we can get!
