Pat was born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In 2020, they graduated college with a degree in neuroscience and philosophy. Staring down the uncertain job market in academia during the onset of COVID-19, they turned to seasonal work in hopes of shoring up that body-mind connection they had read so much about. Working first at farms across New England and then at Bolton Valley Ski Resort, they quickly found joy in working outside and with their hands. In 2022, driven by lifelong fascinations with building and design, they joined the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps’ pro build crew. There they developed a deep appreciation for carpentry and building science while constructing Grout Pond Hut, a four season backcountry cabin on the Catamount Trail.
Since joining the TimberHomes crew in 2023, Pat has made a smattering of kiosks, scribed tree forks and log rafters, and co-built a Very Fine House. In the office, they hold roles in IT and HR. When they’re not imbuing structure with soul, you’ll find them guiding backcountry ski tours at Bolton, portaging a canoe through the pines, or live on air at Central Vermont Community Radio.
