Today, we’re celebrating our co-owner, Eric Nelson!🎉🥳🎈
Eric grew up in the pool business, working alongside his dad and learning the industry from the ground up. He later earned his bachelor’s degree in Business Management & Leadership from the University of Mobile, combining a strong business foundation with decades of hands-on experience.
Today, Eric helps lead Nelson Pools and Emerald Coast Fiberglass Pools, continuing the growth of a family business that has served families along the Gulf Coast for more than 40 years.
His passion for creating beautiful, lasting backyards is reflected in every project, from custom gunite and fiberglass pools to complete backyard transformations.
But beyond the pools, projects, and day-to-day business, Eric is someone who cares deeply about doing things the right way, taking care of his team and customers, and continuing the legacy his family started decades ago.
When he’s not building pools or running the business, his favorite role is being Dad to four sons and enjoying life at the beach with his family. 💙
Happy Birthday, Eric! Here’s to another year of family, hard work, big ideas, and building incredible backyards along the Gulf Coast and Emerald Coast. 🥳💦
