You will hear from –
Demi Fortuna –
Demi has been playing in ponds since 1966, building them since 1986, and teaching since 2006.
Since his first disastrous but educational foray into water gardening on Long Island in 1986, he has been solidly stuck in the muck of water gardening. As the owner of August Moon Designs starting 1990, he developed an interest in innovative plumbing and large, low-maintenance ponds. Since 2006, he has been lecturing across the U.S. and Canada on pump selection, conservation of resources and pond design. He is now proudly the Director of Product Information for Atlantic Water Gardens, promoting innovative pond equipment and techniques that maximize safety, efficiency and profits while minimizing maintenance, callbacks and costs. Whenever possible, Demi is still tickled pink to work with his sons Edwin and Ely building all sorts of water features, under the strict supervision of the boss, his wife Susan, of course.
Sean Bell –
Sean is our professional fish geek. He got his hands on his first aquarium in 1978 and never looked back. It was the beginning of a lifelong obsession that persists to this day. He has raised just about every type of fish you can have in the aquarium hobby and then some. His love of goldfish and koi came about in 2000. He was managing one of the largest aquarium stores in the Southeast while running his own pond maintenance company. His love and knowledge of fish and water quality has led him to work with the top companies in the country and now he is the Regional Sales Manager of the South East here at Atlantic Water Gardens. His experience in retail, distribution and installation will show through with each of his blog posts.
