I’ve owned a waterfront vacation rental cabin on Lake LBJ since 2013, and I raised my two daughters spending every summer on the water. The Hill Country isn’t just where I work — it’s home. Today, both of my daughters have graduated college and are thriving on their own, and earlier this year I became a grandfather. My roots here run deep, and I plan to retire right here in the Texas Hill Country someday.
For more than 20 years, I built my career in new home sales with Austin-area homebuilders, where exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and long-term relationships weren’t optional — they were the standard. That experience shaped how I believe service businesses should operate: professionally, transparently, and with pride in the work.
I’ve always enjoyed being around swimming pools and understand their construction, systems, and maintenance requirements. To ensure Smart Chem Pools delivers the highest level of care, I earned my Certified Pool Operator (CPO®) certification and built this company around science-based water care, not guesswork.
Smart Chem Pools exists to bring professionalism, accountability, and real chemistry expertise to pool service in the Lake LBJ and Texas Hill Country area — so homeowners and vacation rental guests can enjoy crystal-clear, healthy water without worry.
This isn’t just a business to me. It’s a commitment to the community I love.
