Company founder Richard Vaughan operates Vaughan Pools today with co-owners Rick Vaughan and Cathy Crocker, his son and daughter.  Cathy, who has worked with her dad since 1979 provides a wealth of knowledge on pools and spas.  She has a strong history of customer service and holds this as a hallmark of the company.  Rick, a retired veterinarian, also brings a commitment to clients to the family business and a strong sense of professionalism.

Richard constructed the first Vaughan pool in 1971 at his residence, 1907 S. Country Club Dr., in Jefferson City.  The fiberglass, concrete “Lazy L” pool is now owned by son Rick.
