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

- 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!
