After 10 years of working for PSS in a variety of roles and growing his passion for real estate, Patrick purchased the business with partner, Asher Gavzy, in 2019. In his multi-dimensional role as COO, Patrick oversees the PSS Section 8 portfolio and the Compliance Department.

Patrick brings 14 years of property management experience to PSS. In addition to managing a variety of PSS properties, he was integrally involved in the rehab of three substantial rehabilitation projects under the Tax Credit program. He first got his interest in property management as a site manager and continued to build his skillset as he received his CAM certification in 2007 and AHM certification in 2009.

Patrick works closely with owners, architects, and contractors during major renovations, providing recommendations on product selection and design. He meticulously works to minimize the disruption to families who are being relocated on and off-site during construction and meets and understands the strict timelines to lease-up the property, maximizing the available credits.

Patrick appreciates that the most important component of PSS is the staff that works hard to maintain and ensure stable and dignified housing for persons and families with the greatest need. Understanding that taking care of the PSS staff is integral our mission of providing affordable housing.
