Following a very successful career as a Special Investigator and Anti-Terrorism Specialist with the British Royal Military Police, Bob worked privately consulting on personnel security issues to several high level CEO’s throughout the UK.

​
Bob is a proud American, having taken the legal path to citizenship.

Bob's first service experience with swimming pools was in Jacksonville, Florida. Working with several experienced technicians with many cumulative years in the industry opened the door to new challenges and a very steep learning curve.

In 2005 Bob relocated to Citrus County, Florida, where he gained valuable insights into the various aspects of pool construction, design and equipment maintenance whilst working as the Pool Technician for Sweetwater Homes of Citrus Inc.
Whilst employed at Sweetwater Homes, Bob was known within Citrus County as "The Pool Guy" offering personal pool service in the Sugarmill Woods area, however, word soon got around and the service routes were expanded to include the select areas of Pine Ridge, Kings Bay, Terra Vista and Black Diamond Ranch. Bob gained certification through the National Swimming Pool Foundation as a Pool & Spa Operator and then as an Inspector. In constant demand, Bob remains selective of his client base.

In 2011 Bob was proud to receive the "Big Heart" award from Pleatco LLC as part of their national "Perfect Pool Guy" search. This award was in direct recognition of Bob's dedication as a licensed foster parent. Following the adoption of 3 foster children Bob continues to dedicate himself as a Foster Parent and believes that "It shouldn't hurt to be a child".

In 2012, in order to reflect Bob's own work ethic and the ever increasing spa service work undertaken the trading name was registered as "Professional Pool & Spa Service".

In November 2012 the application of River Rock was added to the company profile trading through PPSS as Epoxy Bonded Stone.
​
In 2014 Bob was once again nominated by a client and entered into Pleatco's Perfect Pool Guy search. For the second time Bob was again a finalist in the competition.

As a "Desert Storm Veteran" Bob remains committed to the safety and security of his family, as a proud American he honors the sacrifice made by those who have fallen in service.
