Drew decided to open Freedom Pool Services after working for the largest pool equipment and supply retailer in the country as an equipment installer. He realized the value of a skilled and trained pool equipment expert. The giant corp. did not train appropriately and would let unskilled installers install things like pool heaters that involve gas plumbing and electrical, they would charge top dollar for this unskilled installation, They also paid technicians a very low wage and based any additional pay on commission and labor dollars, this forced technicians to up sell in order to survive in the Bay Areas high cost of living. This is where he met his partner Alen who was a pool equipment wizard and had been with the company 11 years at the time. After a few years and of fixing bad installs for unsatisfied customers and barely making it on the low wages he decided to put in his notice and start Freedom. Knowing the value that Alen brings to the pool industry and the struggle Alen was also having with a family of 5 surviving in the Bay Area he promised Alen he would come back for him as soon as the new company can add the additional payroll. The new company would offer the highest skill set without selling people things they don't need or want. It would also be a place where valued employees one day can make a fair wage and be appreciated for being a team member.
