ThePondReport
website is owned and operated by a freelance group of five "Pond Experts"
who have a total of 103 years of experience between them; almost as much as The
Rolling Stones they sometimes say! Their backgrounds are all different, from a
one-time bus driver turned Koi & Goldfish afficianado to a Grand-Father who
enjoys remote-control helicopters, yet the one common thread they share is their
love of the outdoors and their appreciation of the beauty of ponds. Before we
talk about our philosphy we'd like to introduce the people who work, in one way
or another, on this website. Many of you will have met a few by phone or email:
Derek has been a private pond consultant for many years and specializes
in assisting his clients find a feng-shui peace in their outdoor environment.
Over the last 20 years he has worked at two large pond supply and installation
firms where he learned a vast knowledge and was able to personally judge the effectiveness
of many products before starting his own private service for the clients who appreciated
his honesty and helpfullness. He now provides private pond consultations and helps
write articles and reviews for The Pond Report website, which he co-founded.
Martin is a retired teacher who found his passion for small water
gardens and ponds later in his life. He enjoys macro-photography of the creatures
around his pond. While Martin has no recognized training as far as aquatics go
he has become a legend in his neighbourhood and with friends for being a wealth
of information as far as anything "pond" is concerned. A friend of Derek,
Martin has begun an interest in The Internet and like to offer help and suggestions
to this website.
J is one of the principal founders of ThePondReport.com
website with Derek. While a relative newcomer to the world of ponds, having just
finished studies in website technology and a hiatus of travels throughout Central-Asia,
his interest and experience in the Internet and public relations have made J the
"front man" for the website. Many of you will speak to J directly whenever
you ask a question by email. The vast knowledge of pond issues from small backyard
water gardens to large lakes comes from growing up with a family of aquatic-biologists
and he recalls having named each of the twelve Koi in his parent's pond as a child.
Sam spent 12 years as a technician in an aquaculture supply store
where his understanding of pond care and maintenance quickly made him popular
with his customers and clients. He left the aquatic retail/tech world after deciding
to spend time on his first love which is writing and photography. He currently
offers private consultation services and is emplyed as a freelance author for
various magazines where he writes on the subjects of outdoor living, travel and
responsible pond management
Andrea completed studies in Environmental
Education and supplies everyone on staff and clients who contact The Pond Report
with a deeper understanding of ecological systems, providing information to assist
citizens to increase their sensitivity and stewardship for the environment and
to better understand the cause and effect relationship between human attitudes
and behavior and the environment. While all that sound very serious, Andrea is
actually one of the funniest people helping with the website. Mainly behind the
scenes Andrea assures the quality of information provided on the website and also
has a large family who have years of experience with aeration systems and windmills.
ThePondReport.com is certainly not North America's fastest-growing specialty
product review website, retailer or e-tailer of consumer pond and lake related
products. This is a small group project, nothing serious, we sometimes ruffle
feathers but our goal is to talk about what we love and naturally make a bit extra
money on the side for personal projects and expansion by selling quality products
through various agreements with manufacturers of products we belive in and would
endorse to our own familes. So far the feedback from clients on our fairly new
website has been very positive from our website visitors and we have visitors
from all around the world. Isn't the Internet great! We're still learning more
and so we appreciate your patience as we grow our website into something helpful!
ThePondReport.com offers consumers a unique shopping experience with the
latest reviews and references of new pond products, technology and maintenance
products, often at a wholesale price, with a no-pressure, information-based sales
environment. ThePondReport.com is committed to the environment, kids and communities,
supporting non-profit organizations that help with sustainable growth and management
of resources.
TheThePondReport.com website and e-stores were opened in
the fall of 2006, by five like-minded individuals, and the goal of this website
and founding-fathers is to create an information based transactional website where
consumers can learn about products and then purchase certain brands from quality
manufacturers that ThePondReport.com has engaged into partnerships with. Well....that
is the legal definition perhaps...but really we wanted to have fun and be able
to write about what we love best. We all share a common passion for ponds and
that is what we are attempting to grow. The tallest oak starts from a small seed
and over the last 2 years we've taken a few advancing steps forward and a few
steps back. We look forward to the future and thank-you for your time and support.
ThePondReport.com is committed to continuing to grow the brand and is looking
towards finding other investors and like minded publishing authors, writers and
experts to help create a larger and more expansive body of information always
with the goal to create wealth through hard work. We will not sacrifice honesty
for financial gain and are commited to maintain a viable business model while
trying to both offer a free service providing information on pond and lake care
for private pond owners as well as industrial clients dealing with leachate ponds,
compost basins, and wastewater ponds.
ThePondReport.com is not perfect
and does not claim to be the ultimate judge or expert and all reviews offered
on this website are not to be taken as gospel. We belive, despite all our experience,
that the consumer, the person with the money, is the one who should understand
and research before they buy. We are here to help but we make no further claims
or warranties on service or products. All our reviews and recommendations are
based on in-coming knowledge from our list of contacts and manufacturing practices
may cause negative influences in product effectiveness that we may not be aware
of. Please understand that ThePondReport.com is a labour of love and not an agency
like Underwriters Listing or American Standards Association. We try...sometimes
we're wrong!
