Perfecting Pools in St. Marys

John brings more than 25 years of construction experience to Oak Wells Aquatics. He began in the pool industry in 2005 shooting gunite, then spent several years in heavy civil construction building highway crash walls and pavement. That work grounded him in structural concrete and large-scale jobsite management.

He earned his pool contractor license in 2010 and has been part of Oak Wells Aquatics since its beginning in 2014. He helped grow the company from structural excavation and shotcrete work into full residential and commercial pool construction.

Today John leads the field side of the business. His command of construction management, jobsite coordination, and quality control sets the standards that guide every Oak Wells build, from layout to final inspection.
