ASP Welcomed New Franchise Business Owners

On Friday, May 19, 2017, we welcomed two new franchise owners and one general manager to the ASP family. They completed 100 hours of training during ASP’s Pool School program. Congratulations!

• Mario Arevalo, Owner & Operator of ASP in Weston, Florida
  Mario was accompanied by Juan Fernandez, the General Manager of the ASP Weston franchise. They will provide professional pool service in Weston, Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Sunrise, Andytown, Cooper City, and Plantation, FL. Mario was born in Nicaragua and moved to the United States when he was seven years old. He grew up in Miami, Florida, and enlisted in the United States Army upon graduating high school. After seven years in the military, Mario decided to pursue a career as a certified firefighter and paramedic. Since 2008 has worked as a firefighter for the Miami Fire-Rescue Department. Mario has a passion for serving his community which has led him to follow his dream of business ownership. An ASP franchise gives Mario the freedom to own a business while continuing to serve as a firefighter.Caleb Daulton, Owner & Operator of ASP in St. Petersburg, Florida

• Caleb Daulton, Owner & Operator of ASP in St. Petersburg, Florida 
  The ASP St. Petersburg franchise will provide professional pool service in St. Petersburg, FL, and the surrounding areas. Caleb was born and raised in the small town of Shelbyville, Indiana. At the age of 17, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and has served for the past 14 years. Caleb also has a background in aircraft maintenance and nursing. His desire to start a business has been influenced by other business owners, like his father. In September, he started considering franchise opportunities and found a swimming pool franchise to be the perfect match. For Caleb, ASP stood out because of its technology and forward-thinking in the swimming pool industry.
