We recently connected with Adam Wanner and have shared our conversation below.
Adam, we’ve been so fortunate to work with so many incredible folks and one common thread we have seen is that those who have built amazing lives for themselves are also often the folks who are most generous. Where do you think your generosity comes from?
My generosity in offering a pool safety fence at the most accessible rate in the state of Oklahoma comes from a deep-rooted desire to protect the children in our community. As both an army veteran, a parent of two sons and a small business owner, nothing warms my heart more than knowing I can contribute to keeping our little ones safe. Their safety is my top priority, and I’m honored to play a part in safeguarding their well-being
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Hey there, I’m Adam Wanner, a proud family man and father of two incredible boys. My company is called “Pool Safety Fence” in Oklahoma. Proper pool fencing can prevent young children & animals from gaining access to the pool area without a caregivers’ awareness. A four-sided isolation fence which separates the pool area from the house and yard reduces a child’s risk of drowning by nearly 90% ! We at PSF will prioritize your family’s safety by personally installing the safest premium materials available on the market with a lifetime guarantee! When I’m not busy running my company you can find spending time with my family, as their safety inspires and reminds me of my life’s mission to keep all children safe from accidental drownings. This is my top priority.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Losing a dear friend’s child to accidental drowning was a profound and heartbreaking experience that shook me to my core. It made me realize the fragility of life and the importance of taking proactive measures to keep our loved ones safe. Witnessing the devastation it brought to my friend’s family ignited a fire within me to do something meaningful. That’s when the idea of starting a pool safety fence company took root. I wanted to turn my grief into action, to channel it towards creating a positive impact in my community. Every child deserves to play freely and safely, and if I can contribute to preventing even one more tragedy, it’s worth every effort. So, I embarked on this journey with a deep sense of purpose and determination, hoping to make a difference and spare other families from enduring that pain.
Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?
One of the biggest challenges I face is convincing parents to prioritize pool safety over what they interpret as “the beauty of their outdoor space”. Many parents have this mindset of, “It won’t happen to us,” which can be a delicate conversation to convince them otherwise. I hate to horrify them of so many examples I have witnessed time and time again. For example, I had a client who, on a snowy day, was outside with her child, keeping a close eye on them near the frozen pool. Despite her warnings, her curious 5-year-old briefly slipped away and stepped onto the icy surface. Thankfully, nothing happened, but it was a stark reminder of how quickly accidents can occur, even under steady supervision.
Instances like these are all too common among my clients. They have this misconception that accidents won’t happen to them. Convincing them otherwise, that will maintain the beauty of their pool area, is a constant struggle. My hope is to inspire more parents to prioritize their children’s safety and, in an ideal world, make pool safety fences the standard rather than the exception.
