Rondo Pools

As the founder of Rondo Pools, I am very proud of the company that my family and I have built. I’ve watched the company grow from its meager beginning to being one of the nation’s finest pool builders. I’ve especially enjoyed mentoring my sons as they’ve taken over management roles of the business over the past two decades. With my sons at the helm, I’ve spent my last decade on my favorite segment of the industry, building beautiful commercial pools, spas, and water features. After a brief experiment with retirement and learning that it is not all that it’s cracked up to be, I now enjoy splitting my time between traveling, golf, and work.

As the second generation owner of Rondo Pools, I am very proud of my two-plus decades of working for our family business. Born in the suburbs of Boston, MA in 1974, our family moved to AZ in the summer of 1979. Being only 4 when we moved, I consider myself to be an AZ native with the exception of my allegiances to the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots to which I still hold strong. My part time job working for our pool service department over my college summers quickly turned into a full-time job after graduating from NAU with a BA in Marketing in 1996.

Since then, my tenure at Rondo Pools has included more than a decade learning all aspects of the business followed by a decade as the owner/operator. I consider myself very lucky as the pool industry provides me with a unique opportunity to combine my creative side with pool design along with my analytical side with business management. However, the most rewarding part of my job will always be meeting the people and families we work with and seeing how excited they with the beautiful pools that we create for them.

I bring over 30+ years of construction and project management experience to the Rondo Pools family. Prior to joining their team in 2001, I was founder and owner of a full service rough and finish construction company that I developed, operated, and then sold in Livonia, MI prior to venturing out to the warm state of Arizona. One of the first remodeling jobs I had in Arizona was for Bob Rondeau himself, and after witnessing the quality and integrity I put in to my work first hand, he offered me this career opportunity on the spot.

I quickly became “hands-on” with my co-workers and our sub-contractors to fully understand the industry and all of the work that goes in to building the perfect pool. During my tenure with Rondo, I have been involved with building nearly a dozen award winning pools. I now have the pleasure of managing our construction department and running all of our commercial projects. When I can find spare time, I do enjoy vacationing, off-roading, and spending time with my kids and grandson.

I was born in Deer Born Heights, Michigan. I began my journey in the Pool & Spa Industry in 2004 after 12 years in the automotive industry. My experience ranges from sales and design thru all aspects of construction. Over the years, I have been privileged to be involved in some beautiful backyard projects and am looking forward to many future years of building beautiful poolscapes for our clients. My greatest enjoyment comes in spending time with my children, fishing and classic car shows.

It is great to be a part of such an outstanding team here at Rondo Pools and to be able to bring my knowledge and experience to our customers. I moved to the valley in 1997 from a small town in Montana. Within a year, I found myself involved in the thriving pool industry. Starting as a CAD designer, I quickly moved through the ranks and learned all aspects of the business. From sales to construction to pool operation and repair, I have experienced the entire life-cycle of a pool, which gives me quite an edge over many of my pool industry colleges.

This expertise is showcased in my ability to design and build both residential and commercial projects. Although Phoenix is now my home, my passion for the mountains and high country will always remain. When I am not designing a huge commercial project or helping someone with their own backyard resort I enjoy camping, elk hunting, Sky diving, fishing.
