Hello guys and gals.
I just wanted to say hello to everyone as this is my first posting in a few years. I look forward to chatting with everyone and helping as best i can. I have been in the industry for about 5 years and would like to share and also learn things pool and spa related. I say you can never know to much and someone who can say that is full of it. For those of you who might know me as BIGPOPPA i would like to say hello to you guys, been along time since i have seen or talked with you. Hope all is well for you and lets get the party started......HEhehe

Drewster i have been in Sales Managment all those years, prior to be being in the pol and spa industry i was in the health and fitness industry as a general manager for a fitness company for many years after graduating college with a BS in Exercise Physiology. The reason for my Nickname BIGPOPPA is because i was a competative bodybuilder for years winning Mr. Va, Jr. Nationals ETC......so my coworkers in Va along with fellow sales associates around the country called me BIGPOPPA. As far as what i represent.....i have reped Caldera, Hotsprings, Jacuzzi, Vita, Marquis, and D1 but i know tons about other manufacturers as i study my competition to the extreme...

Glad to have ya! I'm new in here too and in the industry for about as long as you also. this forum is one of the best.

Welcome Bigpoppa,
Feels funny saying that since I'm new here too, but with no prior history. Found this site because of Amanda on another site. Since I'm in Virginia Beach too, I thought I would chime in and say hi to everyone else in Va Bch! 8-)

Funny you should ask that. I was reading your previous post about studying the competition. I was going to make a smart remark about "you are studied" in spa engineering, which would be an inside joke for many of us, then with you mentioning Colorado, that is a bit of a coincidence with that remark. If you don't know, someone will explain it, or I will in a PM ;)
Stuart and Spaman are both dealers from Colorado here. There is one Colorado dealer banned here.
Nice to meet you.
-
Fill me in guys with a PM......................

In my younger days I remember there was a guy named Ed Townsend who sang a song called "For Your Love".
His nickname was Big Poppa.
He wouldn't be you, would it? :-?

Big Poppa and Tumbleweed,
Welcome to the forum...Now would both of you quit screwing around on the computer and get back to work before you make people think us spa guys in Colorado are not busy ;)
BTW, although I'm psychotic and from Colorado I'm not the nutcase that they are referring to...I'm another nutcase!
