In this episode, we sat down with Travis Scott of Unity Pools in Gilbert, Arizona. Ever since we first saw them on Instagram, we knew that they had a California lifestyle vibe to them. Since we are from there as well, we really connect with some of their projects. Travis shares his story with us and we think you will agree that it is not your typical raised in the industry story. From growing up in not the best circumstances and finding himself in skating, surfing, and snowboarding, to his journey through the NFL, it has all tied into who he has become as a pool builder today. Travis also explains how they created the Unity Pools brand, what “built with integrity” means to them, and how they truly embrace the lifestyle pool environment with their customers. With an always listening and always learning mindset, they give their clients that custom backyard experience they have always envisioned.
