Steven Colon, 20 Years of service
Steve has been a key contributor to Gorlin Pools success since 2004. Although he has impacted almost every facet of the company, Steven’s most valuable contribution has been his leadership of the service team. If your pool has ever needed a service call, and you’ve had the good fortune to talk with Steven, you know first hand what his many years of pool experience brings to the table! There is no other employee at Gorlin Pools who has received more customer accolades than Steven Colon. Steven’s number one objective is to make sure our clients are happy with their swimming pool. Steven makes sure his team is responsive and on site as soon as he can, and if he can trouble shoot the issue with you over the phone, he is more than happy to help.
Steven loves what he does day to day. He rarely if ever misses even one day of work and his ethics and principles stand as a model for all our employees.
Outside of work, Steven loves spending time around the pool with his many nieces and nephews. He is a volunteer leader in his church and Italy is one of his favorite places to visit.
Congratulations Steven on your achievement, your dedication and loyalty, and your service to our clients and the growth and expansion of our organization.
