Jay is originally from the Tidewater region of Virginia (Virginia Beach), and Joiner is originally from Albany, GA but St. George Island has been her second home since childhood. The company name, Tidewater Pools, pays homage to Jay’s roots and Joiner’s love for St. George Island.

Jay and Joiner attended college together and moved to St. George Island in 2016. They immersed themselves in the local community, fell in love with the area, and have been here ever since.
