Episode 73: Averi Edwards - Pleatco Perfect PoolGal 2019
In this episode, Averi Edwards joined us remotely from Wichita, Kansas. Averi is now officially the Pleacto Perfect PoolGal for 2019! We got to meet her in New Orleans at the International Pool, Spa, and Patio Expo and we could tell right away that she was deserving of the award. She shared her story with us which will definitely inspire many of you as we were inspired by it as well. We discuss her upbringing, her strong work ethic which was instilled in her by her grandpa and father at a young age, how she got into the industry, her many roles at Edwards Pool Construction, and the rollercoaster of a ride it has been since she won the Pleatco award.
