Business Bio: I started in the swimming pool industry over 21 years ago as a masonry helper working with a high-end builder in New England. Working with my hands and learning the trade of masonry art, I started on the course that would become my career. After working with the masonry department, I was offered the opportunity to work in the service department. From there I started to learn the mechanics and hydraulics of residential and commercial swimming pools.
From cleaning pools and learning how to troubleshoot and repair, I rose to new heights. The company I was working for was starting to grow as well: we had gone from pool cleaning and repair into remodeling and new construction. I was very fortunate to have such a great teacher during this time, and from there I grew my understanding and love for the art of building and remodeling swimming pools. As the company grew and learned, so did I: by the time I left that position, we had gone from pool cleaners to higher end pool builders constructing pools in Connecticut and the Caribbean.
My life changed once again when I moved to San Diego with my new wife to start a new chapter in my career. I was able to find work for a local pool builder; and started my path over once again, working as a pool repair technician for a growing company. I was able to bring my knowledge and experience to lead our repair division from a one-truck department to a multi-truck service department handling everything from simple pool repair to the more complex pool remodel. I was able to grow that department into a national and international award winning remodel department.
I then set out on my own to start Distinguished Pools, Inc. My quest is to build not the biggest, but the best swimming pool company in San Diego. Distinguished Pools, Inc. was born to bring exceptional professional service to the swimming pool industry. Working with some of the top craftsmen in San Diego, Distinguished Pools, Inc. is able to provide you a piece of “art in water,” not just a backyard pool. Our experienced staff of highly trained professionals will be able to transform the pool of your dreams into a reality. Distinguished Pools, Inc. offers new pool and spa construction as well as some of the most unique pool remodels ever seen. Our staff of professionals has won countless national and international awards and has been featured in a number of local, national and international publications.
At Distinguished Pools, Inc. we approach every pool design by listening to our clients’ needs, gathering information and providing creative input. This philosophy allows us to design a backyard unique to each individual client. Our company motto: treat every client with the utmost respect, and treat every pool as if it were our own.

| "We had an old pool removed, and Dan put a brand new, beautiful pool in. They are just great. Dan has been then best contractor that we've had work on our home, and we've had a lot of work done in the past. He was proactive with letting us know what the schedule will be like, and his crew cleans up after themselves. I highly recommend them." |

| "We called Dan to see if he could help us with our unfinished pool. The company that started it went bankrupt and we didn't know what to do at that point. But Dan brought teams together to complete the pool, and they all did a beautiful job. He's extremely knowledgeable, and helpful and he oversaw the entire thing. I can't say enough good things about him. He really knows the business, and he deals with good people. We ended up with a beautiful pool. He has our utmost respect. We couldn't recommend him any more highly." |
