“We took a risk” has pretty much been my motto since jumping into the pool industry in 2004. But, once I jumped in and “burned my ships”, succeeding was the only option. Giving this a "try" or "hoping" it would work was never part of my mindset. We would succeed, period. My brother Joe and I set out to build a brand. Our brand was to be the premier custom pool and outdoor living company in Georgia. We wanted to be known as a company that helped families realize their dream, to have their own swimming pool and outdoor living oasis right in their back yard.

That brand would be synonymous with high quality and high-end premier service. Furthermore, we wanted to be known as the company with better designs, better ideas, better material and quite simply, the better team. We wanted to be better than all the other competitors so that the result is that our client would know they are getting the best possible product available.

The first 10 years were grinding and difficult as we built this team and our brand. And we knew it would take many years to establish ourselves within the industry. However, we do believe we now have the best team in the industry. And, we have the best trade partners and craftsmanship of anyone out there.

Before getting into the pool industry, I spent 20 years working for Domino’s Pizza Distribution. Those 20 years working with a billion-dollar company and primarily within the Supply Chain (Distribution, Manufacturing, Transportation, and Logistics) helped mold me into the person I am today. And those years provided me the foundation to venture out and start this new business with my brother.

Now, Georgia Classic Pool is a leader in the industry. Furthermore, more than 50% of our management and support team is women – which is not common in the construction industry. But, as we began to build this team – we built it with the intention of finding the best, regardless of gender. We believe our very diverse team is a strong and significant reason why we have risen to be on of the best in the industry. We are clearly not perfect, and we do make mistakes, but this the most focused and driven team I have ever had the privilege of working with in my entire career.

We are one of the largest (maybe the largest) custom pool and outdoor living companies in Georgia. We provide jobs for over 100 people each week. This includes a team of 7 Designers plus 2 more Graphic Designers, and a operations and support team of over 10. We currently start and finish more than 3 custom pool projects every week as we move towards 200 per year.

It is a thrill of a lifetime to be a part of this team! And, I am so very humbled and thankful for the great success we have had and I count myself fortunate, and blessed of course. It was just a few short years ago that we were trying to figure out how to convince one person to let us build our 1st pool, and now we build 150+ per year.

If you have a Georgia Classic Pool, you have a Legacy.

We are GCP!
