OUR FOUNDER
Dana Christensen
Lauren's husband, Dana Christensen, founded Pink Flamingo Pool Company in 2020 after a long and successful career in logistics. A true California dude and UC Santa Barbara graduate, Dana always had a pool growing up and would stay in until he turned into a prune. During the pandemic, he decided to turn his lifelong love for water into his profession. Thanks to Dana's dedication and hard work, Pink Flamingo thrived.
Sadly, Dana passed away unexpectedly in 2022. Since then, Lauren has taken the helm, supported by the fantastic Pink Flamingo crew. We're sure Dana is beaming with pride at how his pandemic brainchild has blossomed into a roaring success, bringing joy and poolside fun to many.
Dana loved water so much he practically had gills, and his legacy continues to float on, one pink flamingo pool float at a time. His spirit lives on in every splash and every smile, ensuring that fun remains at the heart of Pink Flamingo Pool Company.
