I grew up in a small town on the Jersey Shore called Point Pleasant, New Jersey. I attended Brookdale Junior College, where I played baseball, and in 1985, I was drafted by the Houston Astros. I spent the next 10 years playing minor league baseball, a journey that eventually brought me to the desert.

While playing AAA baseball in Tucson, I met my wife of 34 years. We have two wonderful sons who kept us busy through years of youth sports. In 2000, I began designing and selling pools and have been with Presidential Pools for nearly 18 years. I genuinely enjoy helping customers turn their backyard dreams into reality.

Outside of pool design, I serve as an assistant volunteer baseball coach at Tanque Verde High School. Baseball has always been a part of who I am, and I love watching young players grow, compete, and move on to college to continue both their education and their baseball careers.
