Administrative

Hello. My name is Amanda Pritchard, and I am the Administrative Assistant for Field Services. I am the main point of contact for our customers and their service needs. Please feel free to contact me so I can assist with any of your pool or spa service requests, including your openings and closings.

Hello, I'm Forest Smith, and am Concord's Brand Ambassador. My journey in the swimming pool industry began back in the summer of 1974 when I started maintaining and vacuuming pools for a local swimming pool company. Over the years, I've gained diverse experience working in the service, construction, retail, and sales departments.

In 1981, I joined Concord Pools as the Retail Store Manager, and by 1989, I had risen to the position of Vice President, which I held until 2024. Currently, as the Brand Ambassador, my role focuses on protecting, promoting, and advancing the Concord brand. I take great pride in my contributions to Concord Pools and remain dedicated to upholding our company's reputation and success in the industry.

My name is Gregg Pidgeon, and I am the VP of Sales here at Concord Pools & Spas.  I have worked 20+ years in sales and customer relations and am always looking for ways to improve our value proposition.  My goal is to ensure that every one of our customers has an exceptional experience and that we are offering best in class products to support their lifestyle dreams.

I am Jon Foshee, President & CEO of Concord Pools & Spas. I have been involved in the swimming pool industry my entire life. I grew up working in my parent’s pool store in Rotterdam and, before joining Concord, held the position of Vice President of US Sales for Latham Pool Products. I’ve always respected Concord, the pools they built, and the professionalism of the staff. I am truly honored to now be a part of this team.

Hi. I am Kenny Schaefer, the Chief Operating Officer at Concord Pools & Spas.

Since joining Concord Pools & Spas in 2021, I have been privileged to collaborate with our dedicated team to ensure we meet and exceed the needs of our valued customers. I am committed to delivering exceptional service and quality within the industry.

Hi, my name is Pam Cannito and I am the Director of Human Resources. I joined Concord Pools in 2000 and have loved watching our Concord family grow… literally! I also enjoy helping our extended Concord families schedule their openings and closings, hearing the excitement in their voices with the prospect of another warm summer, and splashing in the pool!
