Hurst, Patrick G.

Education: Holy Name High School

What Guides My Decision Making: My decisions are grounded in long-term vision, a commitment to quality and doing what is right for our clients, the team and the company.

Most Important Leadership Quality: My most important quality is vision. I lead with clarity and conviction, always looking ahead and helping others see what is possible. 

If I Could Have Any Other Job: I would be a pilot doing crop dusting or run a seaplane ferry. 

My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: I worked at a farm market. My first day at 14 years old was to unload a 52-foot trailer of pumpkins by hand, by myself. It taught me early lessons in teamwork and the satisfaction of putting in a hard day’s work.

If I Were a Character from a TV Show or Movie, I’d Be: Thor, God of Thunder. I admire his strength, loyalty and ability to bring out the best in those around him. Plus, summoning lightning at any time would be pretty cool.
