Leadership

Chris Secard

President

A-TEXPERT Since 1982

Of his 40+ years in the pool and spa biz, more than half of them have been spent leading A-TEX. In his limited free time, Chris enjoys cooking, spending time with his family, and of course, soaking in his hot tub at home.

Shawn Evans

General Manager

A-TEXPERT Since 2000

Amarillo-native Shawn started with A-TEX as a retail associate and worked his way up to store management. After spending a few years in spa stores in Oregon and Colorado, Shawn returned to Austin with his wife and young son to manage A-TEX as a whole.

Stan Leverett

Chief Financial Officer & North Austin Store Manager

A-TEXPERT Since 1987

A Texas native and proud Longhorn (class of ‘86!), Stan has been with A-TEX longer than any of us. He loves when the adult children of customers who bought from us back in the 1980s become customers themselves, continuing their family fun tradition.
