About Patrick's Work

Patrick works with Green Building United as the Campaign Manager for the Housing Equity, Repair, and Electrification for Climate Justice coalition. He helps guide the coalition's efforts to advance affordable home repair and electrification, and gas utility decarbonization policies in Philadelphia. 

Prior to joining GBU, Patrick led grassroots organizing with POWER Interfaith, and with New York Communities for Change, to successfully pass building decarbonization policy (including Local Law 97, 2019, in NYC) and halt proposed fossil fuel infrastructure projects, while strengthening democratic participation from politically underrepresented communities. 

Patrick is a master’s candidate in urban and environmental policy and planning at Tufts University, with a large research focus on residential building decarbonization policies and gas to geothermal (utility thermal energy network) transitions. He serves on the board of the Climate Organizing Hub. Patrick lives in Philadelphia with his nephew and enjoys cycling and reading in free time.
