Pat has been representing J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. in a couple of different ways for 34 years. For the first 29 years of his career, he worked as a grower, cultivating a wide range of shade trees and ornamentals—many of which came from the J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. product line. That hands-on experience gave him a thorough understanding of the company’s offerings, making for a smooth and natural transition into his current role representing Schmidt to growers and garden centers across his territory. He brings deep-rooted knowledge and passion to his profession, and his customers.

Pat works alongside his wife, Tammy, and together they’ve raised two children, who are now grown. In his free time, he enjoys hunting, tending to plants in his yard, and traveling to catch up with his kids whenever possible.
