Bio:

Patrick has been in the industry since 2008 by starting out installing, servicing and selling equipment out of a retail store. Him and Evan, who are high school sweethearts, started out in the industry at the same time and worked hard to create a name for themselves by showing up on time and being responsive. It worked! Patrick bought the company in 2016 and has continued to grow the business with Evan. He loves what he does and enjoys the industry that we are in because we get to operate a company that helps people increase their quality of life.

In his spare time, he loves to hang out with his family, mountain bike, snowboard, access the backcountry and generally shred the gnar!

Head of Finance

Position:

Head of Finance

Team:

….. You guessed it Finance!

Bio:

Professionally, my 20 year career has been split between commercial banking and home health care financial leadership. Shortly after Y2K, I began my professional career as a commercial banking with RBC and in 2005 moved over to Vancity continuing my commercial banking career. In the Credit Crunch of 2008, I left commercial banking to lead the finances of group of companies in the long term care & home health care field. Fast forward to the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020 and my career path has landed me with Macdonald’s Home Health Care. With nearly 20 years of commercial finance experience including 11 years in home health I am confident my knowledge and experience will help steward MHHC’s growth moving forward.

On a personal note, my wife and I have three active boys and a dog so there is always lots going on at home. In my spare time, I enjoy getting outside running, biking and swimming in an effort to be fit, calm and keep up with them.

What do you love about your job/role at Macdonald’s?:

After meeting the team I knew I was joining a fund hard working group and that excites me. Additionally, I take pride in knowing that the products and services we provide make a positive difference in peoples lives.

As the chief barketing officer, Frankie (for short), focuses most of his time on barking at the most inappropriate of times. Usually, this takes place when Evan is on a very important phone call. This is Frankie’s first job and at just 2 old he is doing well within his job description. Between barking and extra long naps, he lacks the time it takes to become a more productive employee but he’s extremely cute so we are going to keep him around.
