Meet the Patterson Custom Homes Team

Andrew Patterson
Founder and President
of Patterson Custom Homes
Andrew Patterson
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Andrew has spent his career involved in all aspects of construction and real estate development. As the technology sector flourished around him, Andrew began working for Rudolf and Sletten, a commercial builder of clean room manufacturing plants and office buildings.
Andrew quickly transitioned from the field to working with upper management in the job site trailers. It was there that he gained a basic understanding of the complexities of the construction industry.
Andrew received a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management and a minor in Real Estate Finance from Colorado State University. While in college, he became a licensed Real Estate Agent and spent three years selling residential homes to help finance his education.
After graduation, Andrew moved back to San Francisco where he was employed by Clark Construction as a Senior Project Engineer working on the San Francisco Civic Center project. As the “dot-com” era and the housing market erupted in Silicon Valley, Andrew became certified as a California Real Estate Broker.
After the completion of the Civic Center project, Andrew joined Grosvenor International, a global developer of residential and industrial properties. There he was able to combine his construction knowledge with his passion for real estate and development.
While working on commercial tenant improvement projects and negotiating leases, Andrew learned about the inner workings of the real estate entitlement process. When the “dot-com” era drew to a close and the real estate market all but disappeared, Andrew followed the residential housing boom to Southern California.
During the past eighteen years, with his positive attitude and boundless energy Andrew has grown Patterson Construction Corporation (now Patterson Custom Homes) to become the largest independent builder of custom homes in Orange County.

Lisa Creek
Controller
Lisa Creek
Lisa was born and raised in San Diego, California. Her father was an Attorney as well as a Developer, and as a result, Lisa literally grew up on construction sites. Lisa graduated from the University of California at San Diego in 1983. After 20+ years of construction accounting, Lisa joined the Patterson team. She comes with a wealth of experience that enables her to fully support the Patterson team.
In her role as Controller, she provides clients with detailed monthly billings with interactive client spreadsheets to ensure our clients always know where they stand budget-wise. Throughout the build, she maintains all subcontractor invoices, of which we have an open-book policy for our clients’ review. She attaches mechanic lien releases to all billings, coordinates with banks and construction lenders, and prepares all of Patterson’s own vouchers and payment requests.
Outside of the office, Lisa enjoys spending time with her husband of twenty-eight years, Dave, and their three beautiful children, Michelle, Jennifer, and Natalie, and her grandchildren.

Fritz Hellstern
Project Manager
Fritz Hellstern
Given his experience and skill set, Fritz decided to start his own finish carpentry business for high-end custom homes and owned this business for 10 years. In 1995, one of his clients approached him with an opportunity to become a construction supervisor for Century Corporation. After much consideration, Fritz agreed, and remained with Century for 19 years in this position. In 2013 Fritz left Century and went to work for another builder at the Strand in Dana Point, and has since joined Patterson Custom Homes as a Project Manager, overseeing the construction of our high-end custom homes in Newport Beach, CA.
