From her trailblazing days as the first woman boat captain on the Chesapeake Bay to leading one of the largest hospitality recruiting franchises in North America, Patrice's entrepreneurial journey is one of determination, vision, and bold decision-making. Today, she continues to break barriers by providing safe, all-natural pest control solutions that prioritize health, safety, and environmental stewardship.

From Boat Captain to Entrepreneurial Pioneer

Patrice's career began in an unconventional way-launching the first powerboat charter fleet on the Chesapeake Bay, where she challenged norms in a male-dominated industry. Facing skepticism, she earned her 1,000-pound boat captain's license to cement her authority.

When the 1980s fuel crisis forced her to pivot, she entered the recruiting industry, eventually founding Patrice & Associates Hospitality Recruiting. With sheer determination and personal investment, she grew the company from a home basement operation into 175 franchise offices across the U.S. and Canada.

Beyond her business ventures, Patrice's love for animals and environmental conservation inspired her transition into eco-friendly pest control, where she would yet again revolutionize an industry.

Creating a Greener Future with Innovation and Purpose

After moving to a six-acre farm on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Patrice experienced firsthand the devastating effects of mosquito-borne diseases on her beloved animals. Determined to find a safe, non-toxic solution, she partnered with a Pennsylvania-based chemist to develop an all-natural mosquito spray derived from essential oils. The results were remarkable.

Recognizing the widespread need for eco-friendly pest control, Patrice franchised Mosquito Sheriff, giving communities across the country an alternative to harmful synthetic pesticides. Today, Mosquito Sheriff is a trusted leader in green pest control solutions, offering families and pet owners a safer, more sustainable choice.
