Skimmer Adds Hal Denbar to Board

Skimmer announced Hal Denbar has joined the company as a board member and advisor.

Denbar brings more than 20 years of experience building and operating pool service organizations, beginning as a solo operator in 2006 and later helping scale Patriot Pool & Spa and National Pool Partners, which was recently acquired by CERTUS Pest as part of its expansion into multi-vertical home services.

“Hal has built a reputation as a high-integrity operator who understands this business at every level,” says Jack Nelson, CEO of Skimmer. “He’s operated in the field and at scale, and he understands what actually holds businesses back as they grow. His decision to join Skimmer is a strong signal that operators are demanding systems that can support complexity, accountability and long-term growth.”

As a board member and advisor, Denbar will work closely with Skimmer’s leadership team to help guide product strategy and roadmap priorities as Skimmer continues to invest in the needs of growing and enterprise-scale pool service companies.

“I spent time evaluating the companies serving this industry and where my experience could have real impact,” Denbar says. “Skimmer stood out because the platform is built for how pool businesses actually operate, the team understands how to support operators at scale and the company is clearly investing for the long term. That combination gives Skimmer a real opportunity to shape where this industry goes next.”

Denbar’s appointment reflects Skimmer’s continued focus on pairing product development with operational insight from industry veterans who have built and scaled service businesses.

“This industry is moving toward higher expectations and tighter execution,” Nelson adds. “We’re building Skimmer for operators who want control, visibility and durability in their businesses, and Hal’s involvement strengthens our ability to deliver on that.”
