The Three-Panel Umbrella

An award-winning Founder and President with 20+ years of experience building a highly successful, vertically integrated, national franchise business in the Home Services industry. 

Born and raised in Cleveland, OH, Pat joined the family business, USA Insulation of Cleveland in 2004 and helped immediately double revenue over 2 years. He was 2nd generation owner of USA Insulation of Cleveland and Co-Founder of USA Insulation Franchise Corporation and FDI Enterprises. He then spearheaded the growth of the business via Franchising in 2008. After 7 years of steady growth and value creation, he acquired the long-time supplier of their proprietary foam insulation and moved the operation from White Plains, NY to Cleveland, OH in 2015, where the product is currently manufactured. With the help of family and key team members, he grew the system to 60+ units in over 20 states to become the largest Residential Retrofit Insulation company in the nation at the time. 

In December of 2020, the USA Insulation companies were acquired by The Riverside Company in the newly created Threshold Brands home services franchise platform. Pat remained with Threshold for 3 years as President of USA Insulation, eventually being promoted to Group President of Threshold Brands, supporting 11 brands in the portfolio. 

Now, Pat is leveraging his 20+ years of combined experience in Home Services, Energy Efficiency, Chemical Blending/Manufacturing, Vehicle Up-Fitting and Franchising to support new and emerging Home Services franchisors successfully navigate the franchise journey.
