I started in the pool industry in 2001, worked for two different structural subcontractors, started my subcontracting company in 2007, and started my pool company in 2010. To say it has been a rough road for the last 11 years running two companies at a time doesn't even come close. During the slow economy I did all of the structural, mechanical, and waterproofing on all of my pools for the first few years and all was great. Our product was exactly what I thought it should be, but there just wasn't enough of it to keep me busy and I decided to close the subcontracting company and open the shop
