“I love the Western Pool and Spa Show and have been attending for [more than] 20 years. The amount of educational offerings at this show are second to none, and every year I walk out with more knowledge. I am especially excited for this year’s show, as I will be teaching a class for Watershape University called Transitioning From Pool Service to Construction. In addition, I will be in The Ask The Masters Podcast booth on the show floor, where we will be holding a number of additional education events. We are looking forward to expanding the educational offerings for the Western Show to include more construction related topics starting with the 2020 show and continuing to grow in 2021.”
