Listen in for a fantastic, fun, and educational time.
The Deep End Hosts
Frank and Jacque Disher were childhood sweethearts, and they
have a chemistry between themselves that makes them appealing
and entertaining to their listeners. They have even had a few
listeners remark that they no longer own a swimming pool, but
they still listen to the show and enjoy the banter between this
loving couple.
Frank has 29 years of experience in the pool industry and has
successfully run his business in the Dallas/Fort Worth market
since 1997. Frank transitioned his business and joined the
Poolwerx franchise group in 2017. Frank and Jacque have
received numerous industry awards, and they are the only current
two-time Poolwerx Franchise Partner of the Year recipients. Frank
has a passion for education and is always seeking to find new
and better products and information that will improve the
experience of swimming pool owners and make pool
professionals better at what they do. Frank has a teacher’s heart
and loves to educate and share his knowledge and experiences.
His southern accent, slang, and sense of humor, combined with
Jacque’s brilliance and wit, make them a joy to listen to.
Jacque has a master’s degree in theatre and has spent many
years on stage and teaching at all levels in the Dallas / Fort
Worth, Texas, area. Her pool industry experience is limited to the
administrative side of the business. Still, she brings a honed
theatrical talent to the podcast and is the perfect partner for
asking questions the novice pool owner and pool pro would ask
when seeking to understand. Her humor and natural fun
interaction with Frank create the ideal chemistry to make the
show a favorite for listeners.
