Pat currently holds the position of Executive Vice President for the West Region.
He started his career in the roofing industry 33 years ago as a Territory Manager for GS Roofing Products in the Bay Area of Northern California. After 5 years of continual growth, he had developed his territory as one of the top producers in the West. At this point, Pat was promoted to Regional Manager and moved his family to Chicago to assume responsibility of the Midwest Region. Faced with the challenge of turning around a region that was underperforming for 5 years, and losing money, he was able to increase sales by 550% in 5 years while becoming one of the most profitable regions for the company.
In 1999, Certainteed acquired GS Roofing Products and Pat was asked to lead the newly formed NW Region. Moving once again, he packed up his family and moved to the Portland, Oregon area. Because Certainteed was an unknown, it created new challenges, which included launching a new brand and new products in the West. After a year, Certainteed acquired Celotex and he and his team enjoyed record sales over the next 4 and a half years while gaining significant market share.
In 2004, Pat made the decision to leave manufacturing and joined Stoneway Roofing Supply as Vice President of Sales. One of his proudest accomplishments was helping turn around the Portland Branch that was losing money every year. After 3 years, Portland became the top producing branch in the Stoneway family.
In 2008, Stoneway Roofing Supply was the 5 th acquisition of the newly formed SRS Distribution Company. Pat began his SRS journey as a District Manager for the newly acquired Roofline Supply in Oregon, and 6 months later was promoted to RVP of the Northwest. Pat has continued along the path, and currently oversees 100+ branches in the West Region.
