Lauren Christensen
Owner

Lauren's a proud Virginia Tech alum (go Hokies!), armed with an M.A. in Psychology from UNF. She's like a therapist for the team, ensuring we’re all mentally prepared for challenging world of pools. What did Matt find in the skimmer today? She’s there for her crew and let’s them know It will be okay. Actually, she would be the one more likely to flip out by what’s in the skimmer basket.
But it's not all serious business with Lauren. Nope, she's the genius behind the Pink Flamingo uniforms, tirelessly working to make sure we're the most stylish pool maintenance crew in town. And rumor has it, she's seriously contemplating rocking hot pink cargo shorts as the daily uniform. Fashion-forward or poolside-chic? What's your vote? Will the pool techs strike?

She's got a diva-level love for the crystal-clear waters and knows exactly what she wants – and you better believe her crew delivers.

Tyler Sheets
Operations Manager
Meet Tyler, the ultimate multitasker and jack-of-all-trades at Pink Flamingo. This human whirlwind of productivity seamlessly juggles assisting clients, coordinating schedules, being the backbone of the crew, and diving into repairs like a boss. Metaphorically and literally, Tyler wears many hats, boasting an extensive collection of Clemson and Cowboys caps that he proudly sports daily, despite the eye rolls from Lauren and good-natured jabs from clients with differing football team preferences. Perhaps it's time to add a sleek Panthers hat to his ever-growing ensemble?
While Tyler does have a soft spot for questionable sports teams, his true passion lies in fishing and being by the water. Working at a pool care company is the perfect fit for Tyler, our resident aqua aficionado!
Tyler's love for water started early on; as a baby, he skipped the cries for milk and demanded a pH-balanced formula. Legend has it that his crib came standard with a mini pool and a fishing rod. His first word probably wasn't "mom" or "dad"; it was likely "pool skimmer." Baby Tyler's bottle featured a built-in filtration system, and his pacifier had a chlorine dispenser. He may have traded his rubber ducky for a mini pool skimmer, and his baby monitor was tuned to the soothing hum of a filter system. While other babies were learning to walk, Tyler was mastering the perfect poolside stride with a baby-sized skimmer in hand. His first imaginary friend? A floating chlorine tablet named "Bubbly Bob." Tyler was destined for pool greatness before he could even say "skim" or "chlorine." Forget bedtime stories; he was likely tucking himself in with pool repair manuals, dreaming of skimming through a sea of pristine swimming pools. Rumor has it that he dreams in chlorine, and he's so in sync with the chemical that he can predict pH levels just by sniffing the air.
Tyler's brain is no ordinary brain; it's a knowledge pool, and he's the certified lifeguard. While others played with building blocks, Tyler constructed miniature pool filtration systems out of Legos. His bedtime stories were not fairy tales but gripping narratives of pool maintenance adventures. He aced his ABCs with an aquatic twist: A for Algae, B for Backwashing, and C for Chlorine. Need a fun fact? Tyler's your guy—he can tell you the ideal pH level for both pools and conversation. It's like having a walking, talking encyclopedia of aquatic wit and wisdom, and his knowledge dives are deeper than the deep end of the pool.
But here's the kicker: Tyler is not just a pool genius with questionable taste in hats; he's the nice guy with a wit sharper than a freshly honed pool skimmer. His razor-sharp jokes could cut through an inflatable flamingo like a hot knife through butter. Seriously, his humor is so spot-on; it could pop an inflatable flamingo faster than you can say "splash." Those poor, unsuspecting flamingos!
So, the next time you witness a guy effortlessly juggling hats, schedules, repairs, and leaving a trail of laughter in his wake, that's Tyler—the poolside legend, making waves of laughter as seamlessly as he makes waves in the pool.
