RJ Booth
Lead Service Technician
RJ was one of the first team members of Aquatic Management of Charlotte, joining shortly after we opened our dedicated north office in 2021. He was born in New York and raised in North Carolina, and lives in the Mooresville area with his family. He began his career with us as a service technician and quickly worked his way up to Lead Service Technician. RJ has worked with pools for most of his professional career but also brings a diverse background in a wide range of trades. He is responsible for overseeing the overall maintenance of pools and training of new service technicians. RJ's versatility and hands-on experience allow him to tackle the many challenges that come with operating commercial pools!

The Pool Management Group
Our parent company, The Pool Management Group, and the 16 other companies in The Pool Management Group support Aquatic Management of Charlotte in our operations. In fact, the employees at headquarters don't run any pools directly. Instead, they're solely dedicated to assisting the various locations in our family of companies.
