One coworker said, “Patrick joined our Pool Scouts team and hit the ground sprinting! He didn't miss a beat and has proven himself to be a competent and trusted manager, co-worker and friend. For our Pool Scouts Convention he went above and beyond. He was asked to present to the group and took the challenge with a smile; he was asked to carry the giant event case and did it with a smile; even when he wasn't asked to help he was there with a smile setting up easels, moving furniture, stuffing folders, answering franchisee questions and the list goes on.The addition of Patrick to our team has been invaluable and he exudes each and every one of our core values! He is someone I know I can ALWAYS count on for help, input and a smile!"
