Robert Thomson - Production Manager
Robert Thomson has over 30 years of experience in the roofing industry, and is a highly regarded professional. Roofing on both the east and west coast has made him tough, confident, and respected. He looks after the customers’ interests by demanding the best from his crews. His position requires top managerial and organizational skills, which Robert juggles extremely well. With such a hard job, it’s no wonder Robert balances his weekly stress with weekend fun by playing soccer and shooting photography.
Lynette White - Administrative Assistant
Lynette White is also a San Diego local. She grew up in North County with spurts of living in Denver and Lake Havasu City. Lynette is one of a kind, and Patriot is lucky to have her. Lynette started six years ago in payroll, accounting and human resources. It’s amazing how much she has excelled in that short of time. In our eyes, she really serves as the Director of First Impression. She is the main one to greet people at the office or on the phone. Our efficient front end systems are a testament to her friendly customer service, accurate organization, and poignant delegation of work. Besides work, Lynette likes swimming, softball, off-road racing, boating at the river, cooking, and entertaining friends and family.
Ron Link - Solar Manager
Ron has been a valued vendor and sub-contractor to Patriot through his own electrical business since our inception. As the amount of Solar installations steadily increased, it made for a perfect union to bring Ron on full time as our Solar Manager. Ron brings dedication, teamwork, healthy work ethic and a commitment to the vision that the smartest choice a consumer can make, would be to hire a great roof contractor to install their roof mounted Solar PV, while he manages and oversees the integration and electrical connections. Ron enjoys the Southern California sun and surf with his wife and two daughters and is committed to "going green."
Rene Munoz - Project Manager
Rene Munoz is an extremely valuable asset to Patriot Roofing and Solar. In many ways, he’s a professional communicator. Being able to educate the customer on the process of their roofing project is what Rene does best. On top of that, Rene is able to manage progress on all his jobs, all while relaying messages between the client, corporate, and the crews. His experience goes back over 15 years and it shows when he walks on any roof. His knack for listening, and knowledge of roofing, helps clients comprehend their roofing project, which make for happy customers. Spending time playing with his kids is what winds him down after a long hard week.
