Grounding his corporate philosophy in relationship-building, Patrick noted that the core of the investment industry is trust, an asset best cultivated through honest, face-to-face interactions like those offered at the Business Council of Westchester. He praised the organization's relaxed, low-pressure environment for allowing regional business neighbors to establish authentic friendships long before they ever need to call upon each other for commercial services.
