Meet Our Team

Andy, a native Texan, grew up on his family’s farm in the Texas panhandle where he worked and enjoyed lots of outdoor activities while growing up. He received his Landscape Architecture degree at Texas Tech University and is also a Registered Landscape Architect with 25 years of experience designing outdoor spaces for residential and commercial projects.

Early in his career, he worked for several nationally recognized and award-winning architecture and engineering firms where he designed various projects such as swimming pools and amenity centers for neighborhood developments, large-scale water feature & landscape projects for commercial properties, and government design projects. He also spent some time working at Walt Disney World in Florida where he gained a large amount of experience about theme park and resort design. This overall experience has made him a well-rounded & creative pool & outdoor living designer. His expert knowledge of existing inventory of site conditions, site grading, soil conditions, structural considerations, and designing beautiful outdoor spaces with good form & function allow him to create unique & desirable resort-style pools and outdoor living spaces.

Design is his passion, and it shines through his projects as he welcomes the challenge of taking a client’s vision and turning it into reality. He designs spaces to give families the opportunity to create lasting memories in their backyard for years to come. This is something that is near to his heart, as he, his wife, and twin boys enjoy spending family time in their own pool. Andy is a patient, creative, and detailed designer that looks forward to working with you on your backyard oasis.

Brad has spent the last 8 years in Project Design and Management with Venture Custom Pools. He comes from a long line of families that have dedicated themselves to the pool industry and redefined innovation and quality for custom outdoor living spaces.

His inspiration derives from Mediterranean pools from the Amalfi Coast in Italy and the Greek Islands. Brad enjoys designing modern impactful designs centered around natural landscapes.

When he isn’t busy designing breathtaking spaces, he enjoys vintage cars, real estate design and bird hunting.

Following my formal college education with degrees in design, graphic communication and printing theory, I went to work at one of the largest wineries in the world. After seven years of overseeing many facets in the wine industry, I was ready to embark on a new opportunity that could directly make a lifelong impact for individuals, families and business. My love for design combined with my project solution approach was a perfect match for the residential and commercial swimming pool industry.

Since the 90’s, I have been helping customers with their swimming pool and outdoor living projects. I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects ranging from your fun family backyard pool to projects with extreme engineering feats to vessels of water with vanishing edges and perimeter overflows.

Through the years, I have had the honor to be part of projects that have earned regional, national and international awards for design and pools with complex engineering solutions.

I am active in continuing education through national design courses, industry seminars and global travel to experience the world of natural elements, innovative building practices, historical and architectural achievements.

The swimming pool industry has allowed me the opportunity to help thousands of families and commercial developments see their project become a reality and come to life!
