Holly Waldhauer, from Chicago, knew nothing about swimming pools or the industry.  In the early 2000s she decide to quit her job and join a friend in Florida who was installing pool tile.  It was a niche job which Holly had absolutely zero experience in.  Some would look at a move like that as a risk.

“I was only 22,” said Holly.  “When I made that choice, I was young.  I wasn’t scared at all.”

Kirk Bradley’s story begins as a food scientist, traveling not just the nation but the world. Bradly, for years, was tasked with trying to perfect the flavor of Orange Juice at Lipton and working to improve McDonald’s and KFC’s seasoning and spices among the few responsibilities he had.

But then, in an extreme turn of events, Kirk Bradley traded in his suit and tie for a t-shirt and shorts to work in the pool industry.
