Meet Abraham O’Connell and Jonny Wallace, the founders who bring their experience, passion, service and craftsmanship to your pool, spa and backyard.
Abraham “Abe” O’Connell: A Passion for Perfection
Born and raised in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Abe is the epitome of a self-made expert. Growing up as one of eight siblings, he learned early on the value of doing things right the first time. This principle has guided him throughout his career, including over a decade of experience in the pool industry.

Abe’s commitment to quality is not just about the aesthetics of a pool; it’s about ensuring every customer feels valued and satisfied with their investment. His approach to business is simple yet powerful: combine top-tier craftsmanship with unparalleled customer service. This commitment is evident in every project O’Connell Pool & Spa undertakes, making sure your pool experience is as seamless as it is enjoyable.
At home in Shavertown, Abe enjoys life with his wife Alex, their newborn son Aiden, and their pets—two cats, Catthew and Catricia, and a dog, Daisy. His family life reflects his business ethos: full of warmth, care, and attention to detail.
Jonny Wallace: The Mechanical Maestro
Jonny Wallace has a knack for understanding how things work. Best friends with Abe since their days at West Side CTC in Pringle, Pennsylvania, Jonny’s ability to dismantle and reassemble anything is more than a skill—it’s an art.

Living in Sweet Valley, Pennsylvania, Jonny embraces a lifestyle that reflects his passions. An avid hunter and outdoor enthusiast, he loves nothing more than exploring the wilderness, whether it’s on a motorcycle or an all-terrain vehicle.
His adventurous spirit and meticulous attention to detail makes him an invaluable part of the O’Connell Pool & Spa team, where innovation and efficiency are at the heart of every project — from routine service and maintenance to renovations and more.
A Partnership Built on Trust and Excellence
Together, Abe and Jonny offer a powerful combination of in-depth industry knowledge and technical prowess. Their shared history and complementary skills have shaped O’Connell Pool & Spa where the focus is quality, reliability, and customer-focused service.
