About Gary

I design and build custom swimming pools.  I jumped into the swimming pool business as a summer job...I'm now approaching 31 years in the industry!  I was doing watercolor renderings for a new home development, and was approached by a pool contractor about doing a pool rendering.  I was hooked.  I spent the next few years measuring yards for pool layouts, designing, rendering, and drafting construction plans for the salesmen of up to six companies at the same time.  I eventually got into the sales end, and was fortunate enough to work for two of the finest swimming pool companies in California for over ten years.  I started Pool Art in 1990.

I received a BA in Fine Arts and  attended and completed the following industry-related instructional courses;

  • Sta-rite Hydraulics
  • Water Pik Technologies Hydraulics: Circulation Systems for Pools and Spas
  • Sta-rite Heaters
  • Intelli-touch Control Systems
  • Jandy Control Systems
  • Vac-Alert Safety Entrapment
  • Aquascape Design Institute
  • NSPI Institute Design & Construction of Perimeter Overflow Pools
  • NSPI Institute Design & Construction of Vanishing Edge Pools
  • NSPI Hydraulics Design for Gunite Pools and Spas
  •  Master Pools Turbo-Clean Seminar
  • Caretaker Seminar
  • NSPI/APSP member for 12 years.

I've been playing guitar since I was 16, and have held my private pilot license for over 8 years.  Design and build unbelievable projects, write and play great music, and fly through the sky at sunset.  Life is good!

I hope your project brings you my way.  I look forward to meeting you!
