Michael Krause may have only started his business, First Response Pool Service in Simi Valley, Calif., in March of 2022, but he’s not new to the pool and spa industry. Michael began doing simple repairs for his stepdad, who also owns a pool and spa service business, at just 15 years old. At 18, he took on a full route. And now, with roughly 10 years under his belt, he continues to stay up-to-date on industry trends and emerging technologies within the industry.
