About us

Performance Pool & Spa was founded in 1990 by Terry Moody and Mike
Pearson. After gaining years of valuable experience, they decided to
expand their horizons in order to accommodate the booming business of
swimming pool construction.

Operating out of Moody’s garage, they took on a number of projects as
subcontractors for other companies. Seeing the potential, Moody and
Pearson opened a retail store in Woodbury, MN. The store served as a
site to coordinate jobs, as well as a chemical outlet. With the
continuing growth and advancing sales, and in only three years,
Performance Pool & Spa began to sell and build pools on their own.

Soon, Moody and Pearson opened an additional retail location in
Burnsville, MN, to continue to meet growing demand for swimming pools
and chemicals. In addition to the Burnsville store, PPS moved its
Woodbury location across the highway to a facility nearly three times
the size. By 1995, PPS was the largest pool builder in the state, all
while operating 100% debt-free. PPS was constructing more pools,
without subcontractors, than any other company.

In 1998, Moody and Pearson brought on Brett MacNally as a partner.
MacNally is also deeply experienced in the pool industry. He has
worked throughout the country at different distributors as well as
privately.

Moody, Pearson and MacNally each have their own focus at PPS. Moody
is responsible for the in-ground pool construction, Pearson is
responsible for the company’s service aspects, and MacNally is
responsible for a number of financial aspects, as well as customer
and employee satisfaction.

In 2001, PPS purchased Automated Pool & Patio. A number of highly
trained technicians have joined Performance as a result of this
effort, as well as a location in Oakdale, MN.

For the year 2003, PPS set records for in-ground constructions,
retail chemical sales, and retail supplies sales, as well as customer
satisfaction.

We look forward to the upcoming season and hope to include you in our success.
