Background
Outside of Florida's Best Pools, Joe is a licensed Public Adjuster and the owner of Dolphin Claims, a Florida insurance-claims firm. That background — operations, claims, regulatory work, and the technology stack that makes a service company actually scale — is what he brings to the pool side.
His day-to-day at Florida's Best Pools is the unglamorous infrastructure: route planning tools, photo-documented service reporting, the in-house 150-lesson technician training program, the AI and automation layer that helps the field team move faster, and the customer-facing systems that turn every visit into a flat-rate, contract-free, on-the-record interaction.
He also founded the Florida Pool Training Academy at floridapooltraining.com — a free, public CPO-grade curriculum and reference library used by pool pros and homeowners across Florida. The same curriculum every Florida's Best Pools technician completes before working a route independently.
