This year has flown by, partly because I’ve spent so little of it in my office. In addition to attending various trade shows, I had the honor of speaking at the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance’s San Diego Chapter’s Service Symposium and sharing my story on the Pool Nation Podcast.

I probably talk about this every year in my January/February welcome, but I think it’s so important. So, once again, I’m going to ask you: Do you review your wins and losses from the previous year?

First of all, can I just mention how happy our cover this issue makes me? What a bunch of joyous people — and how cool that we’ve got three generations represented from Klenswite Pools. At PoolPro, we do our best to be a positive voice for the industry, but I thought it was important to…
