John has proven his success as a franchise owner by his commitment to excellence in everything he does,” said Stewart Vernon, Founder and CEO of America’s Swimming Pool Company. “His passion for the company and employees is evident, and they have done a great job building a strong foundation that reflects and reiterates our core values.”

The company grows based on relationship growth; within our organization and with our customers. So, while I love pools, I love my relationships even more. This makes my job fun and motivates me daily to my job.”
