In 1980, Dave started his first of 3 summers working at his neighborhood swimming pool as a pool cleaner before swim practice and lessons. This first venture into pool care was a strong beginning of what would be a long career.
In the spring of 1988, Dave began working for Patio Pools & Spas in the retail department. Within his 26 years at Patio Pools, Dave worked at each of their locations and settled in at the Campbell location where he managed for 21 years.
Dave left Patio Pools in 2015 and joined Steve Jones, Eric Breuker, Jill Lukanuski, and Abel Salgado to open Champion Pool and Spa Supply. Dave’s goals are to deliver exceptional customer service to our retail family and be fully available for the needs of our swim community in Tucson.
