The attached file was an interview with Aden. I have gotten to know him over the past few years, and I have to say he id the Genuine article.

Classic Pools & Spas was founded by my parents back in 1989 here in Encinitas, CA. They had just moved to the area and saw a pool route for sale in the paper. After a few days riding along with the previous owner, my parents decided it was a good business and decided to purchase it. It was only a small route at the time, 40 pools I believe, but enough for them to begin a life here. I helped out and rode around with my dad after school and in the summers my whole childhood, but never had any plans to follow in his footsteps. I had always wanted to do something different, was never quite sure what that was, but I always said I wasn’t going to be a pool man. After trying out a few other things, and really taking a look at the ins and outs of the pools industry as I grew up, it was very easy to see how great of a career this actually was, and the potential behind it living in this area. So after living out of state for a while, I decided to move back and begin working for him again. A year or so later, my father decided he was ready to get out of the business after 30 years, so my wife and I decided it was time to take a leap and buy the company from him. Since then, we have been steadily growing it each year and have never looked back.
