Our Story
Built on Kauai.
Built to Last.
Since 1987, we've been crafting custom pools across every corner of Kauai — one at a time, with personal attention from the first conversation to the final swim.
The Owner
35+ Years.
One Pool at a Time.
I started Tropic Pool & Spa, Inc. in 1987 with a simple belief: a pool is one of the most personal things you can add to your home, and it deserves personal attention. Not a sales team, not a rotating crew — a craftsman who shows up every day and takes ownership of every detail.
Over the past 35+ years, I've built pools in every corner of Kauai — from the cliffs of Princeville to the sunny shores of Poipu. I've learned this island's soil, its weather patterns, its permitting quirks, and its best local suppliers. That knowledge is built into every pool I create.
My approach has never changed: I take one project at a time. That means when we start your pool, you have my complete focus. You'll see me on-site every day. You'll have my direct number. And when we're done, you'll have a pool built to perform beautifully for decades — not just to look good in photos.
That's the Tropic Pool & Spa promise. It always has been.
How We Work
Our Guiding Principles.
Personal Presence
I am on your job site every single day. Not a foreman, not a crew lead — me. You will always know exactly where your project stands.
One Pool at a Time
I never take on multiple projects simultaneously. When we start your pool, it receives my complete focus until the day you swim in it.
Island Expertise
After 35+ years building on Kauai, I know this island's soil, climate, permitting process, and suppliers better than anyone.
Built to Last
Every material, every fitting, every finish is chosen for long-term performance — not just how it looks on day one.
"Every great pool starts with a conversation."
