Instructors
Howard Weiss - Pool Inspection Instructor and Residential Pool Inspector
Howard began his journey in the pool industry as a lifeguard at a community pool. In 1982, he founded Contemporary Watercrafters, a pool service company in the Washington DC suburbs. What started as a small operation with one truck and two employees grew into a thriving business with 10 trucks, 32 employees, and two retail stores. Howard attributes this success to two key factors: clear communication with both customers and employees, and ongoing education for his staff in technical and customer service skills.
Throughout his 50+ year career, Howard has been an active member of industry trade groups such as the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (now the PHTA). He has served on their Board of Directors and Retail Council and has taught at regional trade association training events. He has also conducted certification classes like CPO, PPSO, CMS, and CST.
In 2018, Howard sold his company to two employees and semi-retired. Now, when he’s not sailing on the Chesapeake or traveling, he focuses on his residential pool inspection business, Pool Inspections By Howard. His services cater to home buyers and their agents during real estate transactions, similar to a home inspector. In the transient DC area, he has become a highly sought-after resource.
Dennis Boyd - Curriculum Creator, Developer, and Residential Pool Inspector
Pool inspection services would take off and so Dennis decided to split his pool service business and open a second company called Pro Pool Inspectors, Llc. Marketing that company to the real estate industry has led Dennis on a journey to not only create the most definitive pool inspection downloadable app on the market, but also start teaching pool inspection protocol classes. That training helps pool service companies see how pool inspections can grow their pool service company. He is convinced that if he can do it, you can do it.
