I started building swimming pools right out of high school as a summer job while I attended college. My goal was to do a different trade each summer to become a jack of all trades however, I liked doing pools so much I went back the following summer, then the following. Four college degrees later and I continued to build swimming pools. In 2011 I created Relax Pools LLC. I initially created the company to have better control of my destiny. But as my personal growth grew I realized I could use the company as a vehicle to showcase my knowledge of swimming pools while spreading love and servitude by helping others get the backyard of their dreams so they can make lasting memories with their family and friends. I truly love what I do for a living.
