Randy Beard
Randy Beard is a builder of elaborate and complicated pools trough out the world. know for "Vanishing edge, peremeter overflow and water in transit designs with in-house crews who perform forming, plumbing, electrical, and all tile and masonry. Randy began his career at an early age when an uncle, who was a swimming pool serviceman, showed Randy how to maintain and repair his family’s home pool. By high school, he was running his own route and he even bartered service for rent on his first apartment at 17. He became an active member of IPSSA in Orange County, where he was born, and his service route grew each year. The maintenance repairs became larger repairs, which became remodels, which became new pool construction. He always felt trade associations were important so over the years he has been quite active as the liaison from IPSSA to National Plasterer’s Council, on the board for Pool Safety Alliance, and on IPSSA’s regional board.

In 2000, he attended the Genesis school in Morro Bay, and absorbed the ideal of raising the bar on the quality of pool construction. He has embraced new ideas with the attitude “Let’s make it work” instead of “it can’t be done”, just because it hasn’t been done. He has mastered the construction of many unusual water effects such as negative edges, disappearing perimeter overflows, glass and mosaic tile installation, and often plays with fire in backyards. He continues to apply new techniques and illusions to water features and views an architect’s vision as a challenge full of new possibilities to create reality from imagination.
