Locally-Owned and Operated

Todd designed and sold new pools for a large high quality pool builder here in DFW. Todd looked around the industry and decided that he could build a higher quality weekly service company that approached the work from a strong customer service point of view. The name of the company came to Todd in a dream, the idea behind the name is Cool Pool People being served by Cool Pool People. He was now ready to grow a client base of Cool Pool People and develop a team of Cool Pool People to serve them. Todd started the company on August 18, 2008 and is still the owner to this day.

2023 Business Excellence Award

What a honor and a privilege to receive the Frisco Chamber of Commerce 2023 Business Excellence Award. Thank you to all of our Cool Pool People (clients and team)!

Todd Gustafson

Owner

Todd and his wife Jennifer, and their son Dylan live in Frisco. They have a sweet family dog named Curby. Todd grew up on a beautiful lake in Nebraska, with his love of water, starting a pool company felt very natural. Todd had a long career in technical sales where he learned to understand the customer’s needs and develop solutions to meet those needs. Todd combined his love of family, water, and customer service to build a company that treats their customers like family. On Saturdays during the football season, you will likely be able to hear him all over Frisco cheering for his Huskers! While building Cool Pool People, he has learned over the years “The Power of No” and has turned that into something he shares with others in the industry through speaking engagements and podcasts.

Chancy Green

Vice President

Most of you have met Chancy. She handles all of our sales and communicates a lot with our clients. Chancy is always looking to help everyone around her. Chancy and her family were clients of Cool Pool People before she began working here, and they still are. Chancy and her husband Jayson are from Minnesota, they have three daughters. Chancy has always been impressed with the service and culture of Cool Pool People. Todd approached her back in April of 2018 and asked if she would consider working with him. He said, “My wife says I need help. Would you consider coming to work with me, maybe just 5 hours a week or so?” From that moment on until now, Chancy has poured herself into the company and has improved and grown the company every day, bringing additional positivity, efficiency, and outstanding communication. She does work more than 5 hours a week, in fact she works more than 5 hours in an hour!

Eric’s first day of work was a cold 38 degree day and it was drizzling all day long.

He gets them chemically and mechanically up to speed so we can be successful caring for that family and their pool. Eric lives in McKinney with his wife, Stephanie and their dogs.
