Glenn Fadden
Owner
With almost 45 years of involvement in the pool industry, there is almost nothing that Glenn hasn't experienced. His depth of knowledge and experience is virtually unparalleled when it comes to building pools. A large portion of his career was spent building Shotcrete pools, and that remains his passion to this day. But he's equally adept at building fiberglass pools and vinyl liner installations.
His goal when he and his wife, Dawn, started Pristine Pool & Spa was to create a company where he could build pools the way he wanted to construct them. The right way! He poured all his passion, and knowledge into this endeavor and it surpassed all his wildest dreams. Starting a company from essentially nothing and building it into a thriving and robust business with over 250 service clients, with anywhere from 15-25 new projects completed annually, is a testament to his fortitude, passion, and dedication to building a pool.
The stellar reputation and good name he has created for himself in the community were achieved through many years of hard work and sacrifice. The pool installations he's completed as the leader of the Pristine team over the past 14+ years have laid the foundation for the creation of a lifetime of memories in and around the pool for hundreds of local homeowners. That is the legacy, and everyone who works here is proud to be a part of continuing to uphold the example he has set.
Lex
Operations Manager
Lex joined our team in the spring of 2020, right as COVID-19 hit and demand for pools and spas surged nearly 400 - 500% almost overnight. He stepped into a need we hadn't even known we had, and we created the Logistics Coordinator position around him so homeowners would have one main point of contact throughout their entire project. At the start of 2024, Lex was promoted to Operations Manager, taking on oversight of our service side as well.
Today, his responsibilities span using our CAD software to create site plans for clients and prospective clients, submitting building permit applications, and managing projects from start to finish. Lex also handles hot tub and swim spa sales — if you're interested in purchasing one, please contact him to schedule a showing.
Dylan Rother
Construction Manager
Dylan has been in the pool business for decades. He also has a background in general construction, making him a natural choice to head our construction team when the company was started in 2010. His extensive knowledge helps meet all our clients' needs during new builds — whether it's a request to add a composite deck, sink a spa, or even something as large as a pool house, Dylan is always up to the challenge.
Dylan personally oversees all of our construction projects, as well as our rehab and repair work. He's actively involved in every aspect of our new pool installations, helping to ensure a seamless experience for our customers. His presence helps guarantee that the level of excellence and quality work Pristine has come to be known for will continue for many years to come.
Richard Martinache
Service Manager
Richard has been involved in the pool industry for decades and has worked in 8 different states. He joined the Pristine team in 2015 as Service Manager and was instrumental in growing the Service side of the company from a handful of clients to over 250 long-term clients today.
His passion for the industry was first sparked by his father, whose pool company he helped run from a very young age. Later in life, he found another influential mentor in Pristine's owner, Glenn. Richard prides himself on the one-on-one relationships he builds with our service clients — relationships that help us not only meet but exceed customer expectations, since knowing each system's setup in detail allows him to anticipate needs and prevent problems before they arise.
He loves the family environment we have here at Pristine. As a member of the local community, he brings real integrity to how we do business and treat our customers. We're building a service centered around fun, and Richard finds that deeply rewarding as he looks forward to serving a growing list of customers for years to come.
