BREVARD COUNTY, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 29, 2025 / Pools across Brevard County look better than ever, thanks to one man's commitment to hard work and clear values. Coleman Flaskamp, a former educator and basketball coach, now leads CAM6 Pool Service, a locally owned company that brings the same dedication he applied in classrooms and gyms to pool care. Through his hands-on approach and lifelong commitment to mentorship, Coleman continues to build trust throughout the region, one backyard at a time.
A Career That Started in the Classroom
Coleman began his professional journey in Michigan, where he earned a B.S. in Social Science Education from Central Michigan University in 1996. He added a Master's in Teaching and Learning from Grand Canyon University in 2008. These degrees laid the foundation for a teaching career that stretched from Detroit Northwestern High School to Merritt Island and Astronaut High Schools in Florida. He taught subjects like government, sociology, psychology, and world history.
Throughout his career, Coleman focused on guiding students and building character. He applied that same energy to the basketball court, coaching teams at the high school and college levels, including Florida Tech and Tusculum College. He led by example and always looked for ways to help others grow, both as athletes and individuals.
Pivoting from Coaching to Cleaning
When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted daily life in 2020, Coleman decided to shift gears. He launched CAM6 Pool Service in Cocoa, Florida, applying decades of experience in leadership, structure, and communication to residential pool care.
He built CAM6 with the same philosophy that shaped his teaching and coaching careers. He believes in consistency, transparency, and customer education. Coleman's background gives him a unique advantage in the service industry. He understands how to explain processes, solve problems, and make people feel confident and informed.
CAM6 now serves homeowners in Cocoa Beach, Titusville, Rockledge, Viera, Canaveral Groves, and other parts of Brevard County. Coleman and his small team clean, maintain, and monitor residential pools with the same attention to detail he once brought to the classroom.
Building Relationships Through Service
Coleman doesn't treat CAM6 like just another business. He sees each customer as part of his extended team. He and his two full-time technicians provide weekly full-service maintenance, chemical-only packages, filter cleaning, and more. Every service visit includes a detailed report and photos, so homeowners stay informed.
"Pools are personal spaces," Coleman says. "They're part of a family's routine, just like a classroom or a gym. We take that seriously."
Clients appreciate his approach. Homeowners like Jenna Ellis say CAM6 delivers professional and thorough service with a personal touch. Coleman communicates clearly, follows through, and makes sure each job meets his high standards.
Mentoring the Next Generation
Even though he now spends more time poolside than courtside, Coleman continues to coach and mentor. He trains every CAM6 technician personally. He explains not just how to clean pools, but why each step matters. He teaches them to arrive on time, listen to customers, and take pride in their work.
Coleman still coaches youth sports and travel fastpitch teams in Brevard County. He believes in giving back and continues to shape young people through sports and service. He approaches every interaction-whether with a team or a customer-as a chance to model leadership.
Leading a Purpose-Driven Business
Coleman built CAM6 Pool Service on more than technical skill. He designed it as a reflection of his values. His commitment to honesty, reliability, and community guides every decision.
He intentionally keeps the company small to maintain quality and oversight. He focuses on hiring people who share his work ethic and customer-first attitude. Coleman wants CAM6 to grow, but not at the cost of service or integrity.
He plans to add more sustainable options, such as eco-friendly treatments and energy-efficient equipment. He also wants to launch a scholarship program for students interested in trades and service careers.
Bringing Education to Every Visit
Coleman sees every pool visit as a chance to educate. He explains chemical balances, filter operations, and long-term care strategies to homeowners in plain language. He knows people feel better when they understand what's happening and why it matters.
This approach sets CAM6 apart in an industry often criticized for being impersonal. Coleman and his team talk with clients, not at them. They solve problems before they become expensive repairs. They treat homes with the same care Coleman once brought to his classrooms.
A Michigan Work Ethic in Florida Sunshine
Although Coleman lives and works in Florida now, his roots in Michigan continue to shape his work ethic. He brings a strong sense of discipline and responsibility to everything he does. He believes in doing the job right the first time. He holds himself accountable and expects the same from his team.
Coleman's journey from education to entrepreneurship shows that skills like leadership, teaching, and coaching apply in any setting. He didn't leave his old career behind. He simply transferred it to a new space where it could flourish in a different way.
Looking Ahead with Clarity and Commitment
CAM6 Pool Service will continue to grow at a thoughtful pace. Coleman wants to add more technicians who believe in the same principles: consistency, communication, and care. He will keep investing in training, technology, and customer service.
As more homeowners in Brevard County seek reliable and honest pool care, Coleman plans to meet that need without sacrificing the core values that made CAM6 successful.
He remains active in his community, coaching, volunteering, and supporting local families. He continues to find new ways to make an impact beyond the backyard.
Conclusion
Coleman Flaskamp built CAM6 Pool Service not just as a response to the pandemic, but as a new chapter in a life already defined by purpose. His background in teaching and coaching gives him the tools to lead, connect, and build something meaningful.
In Brevard County, families trust Coleman not just to clean their pools, but to care for them with the same dedication he brought to every classroom and court. CAM6 Pool Service represents the best of what small business can be-personal, professional, and rooted in community.
For Coleman Flaskamp, the job isn't just about water clarity. It's about building trust, creating value, and making every home a little better than it was before.
