Jim Dunn has been promoted to the position of president at the Aquatic Development Group (ADG). Former president and CEO Ken Ellis will retain the chief executive title.
Dunn (pictured) joined ADG in 1988, beginning his career in the design department. Most recently he served as executive vice-president. A registered architect with over 30 years’ experience in aquatics, his portfolio includes many of the most prestigious waterparks and resorts in the US. He has received numerous awards over the years from IAAPA and the World Waterpark Association (WWA). In 2011, Dunn was named in Aquatics International’s “Power 25“; a prestigious list of industry influencers.
“Jim has been an integral part of our success,” says Ellis. “His passion and enthusiasm for creating innovative products and solutions to enhance our client’s business has resulted in some of the most ground breaking water ride attractions and park designs ever seen.”
ADG is a designer and builder of waterparks, recreational water park and mountainside attractions. The company claims to have installed more than 90% of all wave systems in the US. Ken Ellis together with his partner Arthur Berry III are currently developing a new hotel and indoor waterpark at Resorts World Catskills in New York.
