I was born in Marquette, Michigan at Sawyer Air Force Base in 1964. My parents were transferred back to Orlando, Florida in 1965 and I’ve been here since. I am a wife, mother to 2 gorgeous women and a grandmother to 3 beautiful, outgoing adventurous granddaughters. I have been in the swimming pool industry for 20 years. I enjoy working at East Coast Pools and Spas. The company as a whole is one big family and a great team to be a part of. I love going to the beach, traveling to the mountains, and spending time with family & friends.

I am from South Florida. I have lived all over Florida, Vegas, and North Carolina. I moved to Ormond Beach five years ago. I enjoy the outdoors, festivals, rallies, and anything with music and fun people. I have never been in the pool business before, so I had a lot to learn but it is a great experience. I found a wonderful company to work for here at East Coast Pools and Spas.

I have two daughters, 12 and 8 years old. I came from a long 23 years of roofing to building pools just over 2 years now and I love it! From layout, dig & steel, to plumbing and finishing touches. It is very rewarding to work for East Coast and I must say, Tom has been the best boss anyone could ask for!

I’m thirty-one years old, born and raised in Springfield Massachusetts. Ormond Beach Florida has been my happy home ever since leaving Springfield. Proud father of two awesome children. My boy Logan is four years old, and my little red headed monster Luna. Family, food, animals, and cars take up all of my time outside of work. I have been with East Coast Pools and Spas for over a year now and I don’t see myself changing that for anything. Fantastic environment and overall great work experience through and through!
