Ten make the list. ONE wears the belt.

You can copy the idea, you can try the look, but you can’t duplicate the heart. You can’t duplicate the work. And you can’t duplicate the Talking Pools Maniacs - the biggest, baddest family in the pool business.

So whatcha gonna do, when Talking Poolsamania runs wild on YOU?!

The Belt is on the line. The Top Ten is set. Let the Mania begin.

Possibly biased a hair, but the most important recognition in the recognition that celebrates and encourages mentorship.

Jeff Hampe’s skills are top notch. One of the few elite mosaicists in the world whose work ends up in some of the most incredible pools on the planet. Called in globally to design and build custom mosaics for some of the most exclusive projects out there.

Founder of the 14 PSI Pool Group on Facebook, now reaching nearly 5,000 pool pros and becoming a true community for pool professionals across the U.S. and around the world.

A true craftsman and business owner with his own manufacturing and production facility, creating premium mosaic work, tile pools, and precast fiberglass pools ready to be installed anywhere in the world.

Beyond the business and the massive ventures he’s involved in, he’s also a solid person.

Glad to know you my friend.

Stay true. Stay hungry. Respect.

When nobody believes in you,
When they don’t believe you deserve a seat at the table…

Don’t wait.
Build your own dang table.

From my last $43 and nothing else left to sell to make ends meet,
to something worthwhile and meaningful.

Big thanks to that force that guides us all
and sees every effort you make to keep going.

To everyone out there trying to make something out of nothing..

I believe in you.
