, has been in the industry with hands on, practical experience* since joining the industry during his college years. Starting out studies in art, and finishing with a degree in physics with a minor in math, Al has a special understanding of how to put elements together for truly exceptional artistic design, and still maintain the flow and function that the mechanical elements will determine.
There is a special type of project that he has become known for - it is water as art.
Al has been getting quite creative in recent years. Implementing elements of gunite pools in his projects, as well as vinyl liner design and function, has allowed Al to explore the limits of "traditional" pool building. He has been paving the way in the industry for a new product line and experience. Al is the only builder who is building hybrid pools - the benefits of gunite, without the drawbacks, and the benefits of vinyl without the limitations. Al is also training professional pool builders in the unique process of combining the elements.
Allan Curtis has been in the pool industry for most of his adult life. We'll leave you to figure out just what this translates to in years. He is the lead designer and builder with an artistic approach to building swimming pools in Michigan through his construction company, Legendary Escapes Pools.
What we have come to realize, is that Al Curtis probably has more hands on experience and working knowledge of swimming pools than anyone in the country. Many people can say that they've been involved in the industry at some level for a number of years, however, the specific working knowledge that you get from being a part of things on a daily basis, is something else. The good news is that Al continues to share his expertise, and his desire to make the industry a better place by taking questions and sharing knowledge via his online alter ego: Ask the Pool Guy.
If you are interested in a new swimming pool, you can contact Curtis or a capable member of his team online http://www.AskThePoolGuy.com and http://www.LegendaryEscapes.com.

My grandmother always told me, "Jodi you are so good natured." And wouldn't you know it, I grew up to love nature and graduated college with a Horticulture degree. I've always been excited to learn about plants, how they grow, thrive and adapt. In going out and helping others discover the masterpiece disguised under a blank canvas, I found my passion. Through the field of Horticulture, retail sales, growing, consulting, gardening services and teaching, I have been able to share my passion of painting the outdoor canvas, naturally.
