30 Years

Pat M.

Project Manager

Pat had worked for a lot of different companies prior to starting with us 30 years ago. Lee Company was by far, the most stable company, and Pat was eager to stay. Pat would see Lee Company on the job sites he was working at, and noticed that Lee Company sounded more polite, professional, and respectful compared to the different companies in our industry. “I liked what they did, they looked so clean, and were top notch! I knew they didn’t have plumbing yet; they were a refrigeration and sheet metal company, but I was willing to learn what I needed to in order to come aboard.” When he joined Lee Company, he came in as a plumber in our construction group.

Pat has since managed for 27 years, and along the way, learned how to balance out his management style based on who has shaped him: hard but fair. He believes you have to bring what you’ve got to the table and be ready to go!

“Sometimes people see things in you that you can’t see yourself. I always try to keep that in mind. As a manager for 27 years now, I see things in others they can’t see. If an ax gets dull, you don’t throw it away, when you can sharpen it. As a leader, you are called to sharpen that ax. You are called to help others succeed.”
