ThePondReport website is owned and operated by a freelance group of six "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.

Dominique specializes in aeration and water treatments. He is one of the principal consultants and helps with design of pond systems, fountains and deicers.

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!
