Hello
Hi, I’m Steve — owner and founder of South OC Pools. I’ve been working in the pool service industry since 2005, and over the years I’ve developed a real appreciation for doing good work and building solid, long-term relationships with clients.
Before starting South OC Pools, I spent a few years working in a warehouse, where I took on leadership roles and realized I wanted something more. I wanted to create a business where I could take pride in what I do every day, continue learning, and provide reliable, professional service that people could count on.

​​When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors — mountain biking, riding dirt bikes, and a little golfing. I also hang out with my sassy French bulldog, who definitely keeps things interesting.
