More About Pat:
"At Han-Tek, I've been given the opportunity to see every aspect of how a product develops from concept to completion—how they get manufactured, processed, assembled, and installed," says Patrick.
This deep, first-hand knowledge is what drives Patrick's leadership focus on customer needs and strategic business development. He further honed this expertise by earning his MBA from the University of Rochester Simon School of Business.
As resident, Patrick oversees the organization's day-to-day operations and personally champions the team's efforts to implement their new strategic business plan, ensuring the company's future growth and success. While no two days are the same—from new business development initiatives to exploring potential mergers and acquisitions—Patrick remains committed to keeping Han-Tek's family-business values at the core of every decision.
In his downtime, Patrick enjoys being with his growing family, hitting the slopes to ski, finding a quiet spot to fish, and cheering on NCAA lacrosse. To learn more about Patrick, connect with his here.
