Anthony is also responsible for building a swimming pool for David Green in Jupiter Farms, Florida. David was born blind and deaf. Anthony learned that most of David’s enjoyment came from being in a swimming pool. He always got excited when he smelled the chlorine from his swimming trunks his mother brought to him to wear on their long drive to a public pool. So Anthony offered to build a beautiful custom swimming pool and also, donated deck furniture at David’s house so he would always be able to enjoy the thing he loved doing the most; being in a swimming pool.
