I am builder of elaborate and complicated pools mainly in the Newport Beach area of Orange County, California, with in-house crews who perform forming, plumbing, electrical, and all tile and masonry. I began my career at an early age when an uncle, who was a swimming pool serviceman, showed me how to maintain and repair our family’s home pool. By high school, I was running his own route and he even bartered service for rent on his first apartment at 17. I became an active member of IPSSA in Orange County, where I was born, and my service route grew each year. The maintenance repairs became larger repairs, which became remodels, which became new pool construction. I always felt trade associations were important so over the years I have been quite active as the liaison from IPSSA to National Plasterer’s Council, on the board for Pool Safety Alliance, and on IPSSA’s regional board. In 2000, I attended the Genesis school in Morro Bay, and absorbed the ideal of raising the bar on the quality of pool construction. I have embraced new ideas with the attitude “Let’s make it work” instead of “it can’t be done”, just because it hasn’t been done. I have mastered the construction of many unusual water effects such as negative edges, disappearing perimeter overflows, glass and mosaic tile installation, and often plays with fire in backyards. I continues to apply new techniques and illusions to water features and views an architect’s vision as a challenge full of new possibilities to create reality from imagination.
