Patrick McCarthy
Chief of Innovation is a creative and challenging discipline to fill, but we think Doctor Deacon Batman Patrick McCarthy has it in the bag. Patrick makes all of our ammo-crate and pen boxes and charcuterie and cutting boards, and he also is the innovation process behind the scenes in our workshop and maker lab. Patrick is always thinking of cool new projects and designs!
His other talents include photo-shopping his Facebook profile pictures, finding various woods for our pens, and losing fingers on the job. Patrick has been serving active duty for over two decades with the US Military and brings that same drive and passion into the Preservation Pens workplace.
