Mike Clark, Design Team Leader, CPO (Certified Pool Operator) - We are fortunate that Mike has spent 23 of his 29 years of experience designing custom pools for Pulliam Pools.  Mike's architectural training blends perfectly with his construction background, making him the ideal choice for Team Captain.  Mike's duties as Captain include assisting the other designers and reviewing each and every plan before construction begins. 

Bart Smith, Sales Training Manager, CPO (Certified Pool Operator) - Bart's background also includes multiple facets of pool experience. His 18 years of sun room, spa and pool construction expertise was put to use by former Dallas Cowboy Jay Novacek when Bart created Jay's backyard resort in 1998. Celebrating his 15th anniversary this year, Bart (also our team roping authority) built his own Pulliam Pool among the mesquite trees and cows in his Cleburne backyard. Bart was recently promoted because of his positive attitude, great work ethic, and his continued representation of Pulliam Pools. Bart typically works out of our Granbury office location.

Jay Canada, Designer, CPO (Certified Pool Operator) - With an impressive 35 years in the construction industry, which included 15 years of steel rebar installation, we are proud to have Jay on our team.

This extensive background in the industry gives Andrew unusual insight when designing pools for his customers.

Ron Hays, Designer - We were pleased when Ron transferred his 14 years of sun room and spa construction experience to us in early 1997.  Our resident advisor on sun room additions, Ron is also the brave soul who led our "Run Now - Swim Later" Cowtown Marathon team in 1998.  The addition of Ron enhances our whole team's depth of knowledge. Ron works mainly out of our Hudson Oaks office because he lives in the Weatherford area.

David McCauley, Designer -With over 30 years in concrete construction, David has an abundant knowledge of our industry. He joined the Pulliam team in 1989 as a Superintendent and after nine years he transitioned into sales.

His positive attitude, honesty, and attention to detail have made him popular with customers and with the entire Pulliam crew. In fact, Chad's laid back attitude has earned him the nickname "Never Get Mad Chad". Chad works from our Granbury location.

Rick Schroeder, Designer - When Rick came to Pulliam Pools in 1996, a collective cheer was heard throughout the office.  Twice voted "Most Likely to Make You Laugh" at our annual employee seminars, Rick's creative design skills are strengthened and influenced by his diverse business background. Rick can be found working primarily in our Hudson Oaks location.

David Welty, Designer - He's a hunka, hunka burnin' designer. This occasional Elvis impersonator loves working one-on-one with our customers. But it was his background both on construction and negotiation that brought him to Pulliam. David has been designing pools since early 2000, and he listened and learned quickly. His sense of humor keeps the office smiling.

Chris Avitia, Designer, CPO (Certified Pool Operator ) - The sun is shining bright on our California native. Chris is a graduate of Chico State University with an emphasis on Art and Design. He believes that, "Every backyard pool can combine aesthetics and functionality to achieve a beautiful poolscape." Chris has 13 years experience in the pool business ranging from technical service to building.
