Episode 29: Ledge Lounger with Christopher Anderson

We are honored to have our last episode of the year be with Ledge Lounger founder and president Christopher Anderson. For the second year in a row, Ledge Lounger is ranked as one of the fastest growing private companies within the American economy. Ledge Lounger is an in-pool and outdoor furniture company that was founded in 2011. They are known for designing outdoor furniture and accessories, made out of high-quality materials that withstand the sun, weather, and chemicals of the outdoor and pool environments. In this episode we will discuss Chris being raised in Texas and growing up around the swimming pool industry with his father. Chris would graduate from LSU with a degree in Construction Management. After working and gaining experience with the Dallas Morning News and then working for a Nebraska based tech company as their Director of Business Development. He then made his way back to Houston to work and help with his fathers growing pool company Custom Design Pools. One day Chris was tasked with a project that would forever change his life. A customer that they were building a pool for needed a particular type of pool furniture that could handle the weather, no matter the price. After searching and contacting different resorts he found nothing. He would spend the next 2 1/2 years researching and developing what we know today as Ledge Lounger. We will discuss the origins, the brand, the company, and listen to all the great wisdom Chris has to offer. We hope you all enjoy. See you out there Pool Chasers!
