Premier Pool Service, Inc. started operations in the fall of 2002 and has steadily grown through the years. Honesty and integrity are two core principles Jason practices daily in his personal life and he makes sure that he and all his employees continue that practice to each and every customer of Premier’s. 

His main objective is to ensure that all of his employees maintain exceptionally high standards in all facets of our industry to allow for future growth.  He oversees the daily operations to ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction and is always looking at ways to expand his company’s brand. Just recently, with the help of Austin Blevins, Premier Pool Construction, LLC and Premier Pool Supply, LLC become the newest members of the Premier family brand.

David Kidd

Field Operations Manager

David Kidd started with Premier Pool Service, Inc. in 2004. He is Jason’s cousin and was Premier’s very first full-time hire and has been here from the ground level. His dedication and loyalty are unmatched.There are many faces of a pool that require a broad spectrum of talents and through countless hours of training and hands on experience, he can say that he’s learned to know each facet of this industry as well as he knows myself. David tends to focus on the more challenging renovations jobs and most of the extensive repairs. David, as well as all of the family at Premier Pool Service, Inc., strives for excellence in every area. He’s CPO, waste water, and lifeguard certified and there’s no job that will be considered done when adequate is the word that best describes the final product. At Premier a contract has been fulfilled when the customer raves about all aspects of their experience with us.

David has a wonderful wife and three beautiful daughters and while he may work to provide for them, he’ll say he works for Premier Pool Service, Inc. because he loves it! This simple notion shines in all that we at Premier do for our customers. It is our customer service and the personal relationships with our customers that set Premier Pool Service, Inc. apart from all the other companies. Which is a major point of pride for myself and is my most favorite job responsibility, serve our customers as if they were family.
