Meet The Team

Terry started the business in 2007 with 20 years of experience in the pool industry. His passion for the industry prompted him to start Hillside Pools. You can find him at the job site, helping the service crews, or chatting with customers at the store. He enjoys spending time with his grandchildren and family, snowmobiling, and relaxing in his favorite cabin in the UP.

Joining the company officially in 2013, Terry’s wife Chris previously worked for 25 years in retail management and distribution. She spends the majority of her time behind the scenes in the office working with financing, marketing, and overall business development. She loves spending time with family and relaxing next to a body of water. Also has a love of shoes, cats, and her doodle Maggie.

Spencer is Becca’s husband and joined the team in 2015. With 11 years of experience in the volunteer Churubusco Fire department, his leadership skills, and mechanical aptitude are instrumental during the new pool build process. He is constantly researching ways to improve the business and utilize the latest technology. He enjoys hunting waterfowl and deer, his time with the fire department, and developing land for a future home.

Becca, one of the Hill twins, worked 6 years as a Physical Therapist Assistant prior to joining the family business in 2019. She spends most of her time selling and coordinating new pool builds and using organization skills to assist all Hillside departments. Her passions are traveling, reading, and spending time with friends and family. Oh, and snuggling her pup, Phoenix.
