"The Company has experienced tremendous growth over the past several years, and Andy has provided exceptional financial, strategic, and organizational leadership during his tenure with Patrick," said Mr. Cleveland.  "He has a proven record of accomplishment working side by side with Jeff Rodino, our Chief Operating Officer, and the Patrick team in helping drive the execution of our strategic vision and our organizational strategic agenda.  Andy's new role recognizes his many contributions to Patrick's success and at the same time reflects the increasingly complex management needs of the Company, as we have grown from just over $200 million of revenue in 2009 to current annualized revenue of $1 billion, while acquiring 23 companies.  I am confident in Andy's ability to continue leading the Company into the future, and I look forward to my ongoing partnership with both him and Jeff in driving the execution of our strategic plan and continually increasing shareholder value."
