Episode 122: From Family Business to Boutique Agency with Nick Hauk of Pure Design Group & Elemental Acrylic

Why would a third-generation pool builder step away from the family business to start a business of their own? Today’s guest shares his motivation for charting his own course and continuing his family’s legacy on his own terms.  Nick Hauk is the owner of Pure Design Group. He started in the pool industry when he was just 15 years old. He graduated from Oklahoma State University where he studied landscape architecture and entrepreneurship, both skills that he puts to use at his company today. After graduation, he moved back to Celina, Texas, where he helped his family business grow from 40 to 250 pool builds a year. He has since started his own boutique agency which focuses on quality over quantity.   Listen in as Nick discusses his family business, his experience on Pool Kings, what it is like working day-in and day-out with high-end clientele (and the transparency it takes to do so), and his new adventure in the world of acrylic.  Pure Design & Elemental Acrylic Links:  If you enjoyed this episode, check out the photos, show notes, all the links referenced, and follow Nick, Pure Design Group, & Elemental Acrylic by going to the episode webpage here: Episode Webpage  Sponsor Links:  Pentair  Anderson Manufacturing  You can follow Pool Chasers below:    Pool Chasers Website   Pool Chasers Instagram  Pool Chasers Facebook
