…Over 30 Years of Industry Experience
Pat brings over three decades of experience in the construction industry. She began her career with RPM Construction, the company she and Ray built together. Today, she stands as the sole owner of Blue Diamond, leading a skilled team and delivering exceptional results across the state.
In fact, Pat has worked directly on countless job sites throughout New Jersey. As a metal framer and value engineer, she collaborates closely with engineers, architects, developers, and electricians. Her projects include hospitals, medical centers, restaurants, apartment complexes, office buildings, and shopping centers.
Moreover, her company has played a vital role in the revitalization of Asbury Park, contributing to several high-profile commercial developments.
Rising from Personal Tragedy
During a span of just three years, Pat lost her husband, both parents, and a brother. Naturally, this was an incredibly challenging time in her life. For a while, it seemed like she might lose her business too.
However, instead of giving up, Pat chose to turn her grief into growth. She wrote a powerful memoir titled Kicking Karma’s Ass: Unbelievable Stories of Strength, Resilience and Perseverance, All Told with a Twist of Humor. This international bestseller details how she rebuilt her life and career—with humor, grit, and heart.

She reminds audiences that even when life doesn’t go as planned, it can still turn out better than they ever imagined.
