Jonathan Evans & Randy Moore

At the helm of Sequoyah Pools is co-owner Jonathan Evans, a master pool designer and second-generation builder who has dedicated his life to creating luxury aquatic environments. Jonathan represents a rare synthesis of lifelong field experience and formal architectural discipline. Raised in the swimming pool industry, Jonathan began designing custom swimming pools at just 16 years old under the guidance of his family. He later took architecture classes at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, giving him a sophisticated understanding of spatial planning, structural engineering, site integration, and landscape harmony. Today, Jonathan combines his academic training with decades of hands-on expertise to deliver breathtaking custom pools across the Greater Knoxville Area.

Jonathan’s comprehensive mastery encompasses every facet of swimming pool construction and transformation. Known for his "Everything Pools" technical knowledge, Jonathan oversees new pool construction, complex pool renovations, structural shotcrete/gunite execution, custom water features, advanced filtration systems, and custom coping and tile work. His background allows him to analyze complex topographies and engineer seamless indoor-to-outdoor living transitions. Jonathan treats every backyard as a blank canvas, designing custom pools that are not only visually stunning but also structurally engineered to endure for generations.

Over 45 Years of Heritage, Award-Winning Design, and Comprehensive Project Care

Under Jonathan’s leadership, Sequoyah Pools carries forward a proud multi-generational legacy established in 1977. For over 45 years, the family-owned company has maintained uncompromising construction standards, earning regional acclaim and national recognition—including featured coverage in prestigious publications such as The New York Times. Jonathan's firm operates as a fully licensed and insured turn-key operation, managing every phase of the project lifecycle from initial concept drawings to final equipment orientation and site handoff.

Jonathan has built the business around clear communication, transparency, and complete client peace of mind. He leads an elite, bilingual team fluent in both English and Spanish, ensuring seamless, clear dialogue across all field crews, site supervisors, and property owners. Sequoyah Pools handles all required municipal permitting, site inspections, and engineering compliance, eliminating stress for the client. Jonathan enforces an open-dialogue policy, offering prompt responses and continuous support before, during, and long after the pool construction process is complete.

Deep Community Roots, Outdoor Exploration, and Family Values

When he steps away from design boards and active construction sites, Jonathan is a devoted family man and an active leader in his local community. Happily married with two children, Jonathan deeply values the importance of creating outdoor living spaces where families can gather, connect, and build lifelong memories together. This family-centric mindset heavily influences how he runs Sequoyah Pools, treating every client's property with the same care and respect he would offer his own home.

An avid outdoorsman, Jonathan loves exploring the lakes, rivers, and wilderness of East Tennessee. Whether navigating local waterways or hiking regional trails, his time spent outdoors reinforces his deep appreciation for natural water features and landscape aesthetics—elements he frequently integrates into his custom pool designs. In addition to his love for the Tennessee wilds, Jonathan enjoys traveling with his family, gaining inspiration from global architectural styles and luxury resort concepts that he brings back to enrich his custom projects in Knoxville.
