From expansive soils to extreme summer heat and winter freezes, East Texas presents unique challenges for pool construction. Our team understands these conditions because we’ve built here for decades. Every pool we design and construct is tailored to perform reliably, efficiently, and beautifully for years to come.
At 360 Custom Pools, you’re not hiring a sales company — you’re partnering with experienced builders who stand behind their work.
Welcome to the 360 Custom Pools family.
With 23 years in the swimming pool industry, Creig Prince is known throughout East Texas for his design expertise and construction knowledge. Creig trained under Steve Harris at Blue Haven Pools in Tyler, Texas, where he worked for 11 years and earned multiple Gold President’s Awards for swimming pool design excellence.
He later worked alongside Jerry Gullo, a respected engineer and iconic pool builder, at Trinity Valley Pools. That experience helped shape Creig’s commitment to proper engineering, structural integrity, and long-lasting pool construction — values that ultimately led him to launch 360 Custom Pools.
Joshua “Josh” Russell brings 15 years of industry experience spanning retail, service, instruction, and construction management. Josh began his career at Trinity Valley Pools, managing the Tyler retail store and earning multiple certifications in water chemistry.
He transitioned into the service department, where he excelled, and later moved into the construction side of the business. In 2016, Josh founded RNR Pool Service, which became the Pentair warranty station for East Texas.
While operating RNR Pool Service, Josh earned his four-year degree in Construction Management and achieved multiple professional credentials, including Certified Builder Professional through the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance and Genesis 3. His background ensures every project is built with both technical precision and real-world service experience in mind.
Dillon Robertson began his career in the retail division at Trinity Valley Pools before advancing into custom pool design and construction. Under the guidance of Creig Prince, Dillon quickly established himself as a talented designer and earned industry recognition, including design awards from Blue Haven.
Dillon later relocated to Fort Worth, where he continued designing custom pools for the Blue Haven office. As his family grew, Dillon chose to return home to East Texas, and 360 Custom Pools was proud to welcome him into the 360 family. Today, Dillon brings a unique blend of creative design, technical knowledge, and real-world construction experience to every project.
