Seeing the need for a simple solution to pond management, I began working with my first pond at age 15. My success with this pond landed me more work servicing the ponds of friends and relatives. With this influx of work I decided it was time to expand and hire my first vice president; who had a pick-up and a driver's license. I continued my hands-on educations of backyard ecology throughout high school. With a desire for more "formal" education, I decided to pursue my degree at Michigan State University.

While attending college, I launched The Pond Guy, Inc. It was then that I realized that the knowledge and products that I had developed, out of my parents' basement and in the back of my pickup truck, could help thousands of pond owners seeking a simple solution to pond management. Today, The Pond Guy services more than 600 backyard ponds, installs hundreds of beautiful water gardens and offers the most extensive pond supply catalog in the nation, with customers in all 50 states.

I don't know where the future of The Pond Guy will lead me, but I do know that my approach will be the same...My #1 commitment is to my customers. As part of my commitment, I will continue to offer simple solutions, the best products and a group of knowledgeable and friendly pond "guys" and "gals" to assist you every step of the way. I credit much of my success to the comments and suggestions that I have received from all of you; you can trust that all of us at The Pond Guy have been listening.
