Meet Our Team

After serving 24 years in the US Navy, Miguel and his family settled in Reno in 2015. He started ASP of Reno in 2016, saying he missed the water so much that pools would get him the closest in Reno. His passion for pools, coupled with his customer service based on honesty and accountability, has guided the company through tremendous growth, establishing ASP as the leading pool servicing company in the Reno-Metro area.  Miguel hails from Houston, Texas and his heritage is from Mexico. He holds two Bachelor degrees from the University of Houston and an MBA from the Naval Postgraduate School. On his spare time, he loves watching movies with his wife and children, playing the bass guitar and playing golf.

Johnna is the Ying to our Yang, the peanut butter to our jelly, the cheese to our macaroni! A southern California girl, Johnna joined ASP in the spring of 2021. A super squared-away and experienced office administrator, she took on the challenging role of our Office Manager and since then she has our many processes marching in a single line like well-trained ducks. Johnna is also an extremely talented blues singer. Some Saturday evening, somewhere, if you’re fortunate, you may find yourself entranced by her rendition of Etta James “I’d Rather Go Blind.”

Sam hails from Grass Valley, California, and he joined our ASP team in the summer of 2021. He worked for 9 years at Sugar Bowl Ski resort as ski lift operator and repair technician, eventually working his way into the building services division where he became their Certified Pool Operator. Always having a desire to move to Reno, he grasped this opportunity when a position became available at ASP. We are glad he joined us! Sam enjoys the outdoors, hiking, playing disc golf, and outdoor photography.

James was born in Oregon but at heart he is a Texan. He lived in Dallas for most of his life before he joined the US Army in 1997. He deployed to Albania as an infantry man during the Kosovo crisis. Once back stateside he moved back to Dallas and eventually found his way as a pool maintenance technician for a large pool company in Dallas. Having family in Reno, he moved here in early 2021 and joined ASP! We are thankful for his service to our country!

Despite his intimidating 70 lbs., Crash identifies himself as a lap dog. He is an expert at cheering everyone up. When you meet him, your happiness meter will sky rocket, but be prepared. If you’re not paying attention, his happy tail may whip your coffee cup from your hand. Or you’ll find yourself wiping your wet face clean from an unexpected “dog kiss.” In his off time, Crash enjoys chasing the frisbee and eating bacon. Real or fake. Does not matter.

Taylor was born in South Lake Tahoe, California, and raised in the Carson Valley/ Reno Metro Area. An accomplished technician, he’s been in the Pool and Spa maintenance and repair industry since 2005. Prior to joining ASP in 2022, Taylor worked at Lahontan Golf Club in Truckee for six years, managing and servicing their pool and spas. He is a Certified Pool Operator. Off work, Taylor enjoys making music. A talented musician, he plays the drums, electric guitar, bass guitar, and produces his own music!
