Founder's Bio
Bob learned early in his career that dedication to customer satisfaction was the key to success, and he has never wavered from that vision. Hard work, determination and countless hours devoted to continually growing the company, have transformed it into the multimillion-dollar international manufacturer it is today.
Bob has served on the Manufacturers Council of the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) and has served on many boards in the not-for-profit sector.
Prior to founding D1, Bob served as a United States Navy pilot, flying off aircraft carriers in the Vietnam War. Following his service, Bob launched a financial career as a stockbroker with a prominent NYSE brokerage firm, where he served as account manager from 1975 to 1979. Bob received his accounting degree with an emphasis in finance from Michigan State University. During his free time, Bob has enjoyed coaching Little League baseball and youth soccer.
