THE ORIGIN STORY

It Started With a Phone Call.

My husband was deployed overseas, and I called him with what probably sounded like a crazy idea at the time — "What if we purchased the Hwy 40 Pool & Spa shop?"

He didn't see it coming. Honestly, it wasn't even something that was on his radar. He had less than one month left before coming home when I made that call. But we had always wanted to own a business, and something about this just felt right.

In 2023, He Came Home — and We Went All In.

After returning home, we made the decision together. No halfway. No testing the waters. We decided to go all in and hit the ground running.

What came next were long days and late nights that I don't think either of us fully anticipated. There were moments of doubt, moments of exhaustion, and moments where we just had to push through and trust the process.

But here's what I didn't expect — how incredibly rewarding it would all feel.

Because this isn't just a business to us. It never has been.

This Is About More Than Pools.

When our team pulls into your driveway, we're not just there to do a job. We're there to help you create something — a space where your family gathers, where your kids splash around on hot summer days, where you sit by the water at the end of a long week and finally exhale.

We get to be a part of that. And that means everything to us.

With our family truly involved in this business, being in our clients' backyards — helping them build that gathering space, helping them make those memories — makes every long day and late night completely worth it.

❤️See you in the backyard.

And Then — The Community Spoke.

On March 24, 2026, we got news that honestly 

stopped us in our tracks.

🏆 HWY 40 Pool & More was voted 

   #1 Best Pool Company in Terre Haute —

   2026 Tribune-Star Readers' Choice.

Our minds were blown.

In just a few short years, going from a phone call 

during a deployment to being voted the best pool 

company in our community by the people we serve — 

I still can't fully put it into words.

To everyone who voted, who believed in us, who 

trusted us with their pool and their backyard — 

thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

We don't take that trust lightly. We never will.
