Why BRAD Chose Jim’s Pool Care
Before joining Jim’s Pool Care, Brad spent more than 20 years in education, including leadership roles and involvement in large research projects. That experience gave him a strong understanding of systems, business processes, and how to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes.
The move into business came from a desire to build something of his own and create a better work-life balance. He was drawn to the hands-on nature of pool care, the opportunity to work outdoors, and the technical side of maintaining pool water quality and pool equipment.
With a background in chemistry and an interest in how systems work, pool care was a natural fit.
What stood out early was the consistency of the work. Pool maintenance requires ongoing attention and many homeowners lack the time or knowledge and prefer to outsource it. That creates steady demand and the opportunity to build long-term customer relationships.
Seeing the Jim’s system in action, and the steady growth that came from following it, reinforced that with consistent effort it’s possible to build a strong and sustainable business.
