BRETTON KEATING MORK
Pat’s oldest daughter, Bretton, was a part of three family builds ranging in age from 2 to 17. Some of her earliest memories are of visiting job sites, riding in her dad’s bobcat, and the smell of Home Depot on Saturday mornings. She graduated from Holy Cross Academy in Kensington and ventured to Dallas where she studied Finance, Psychology, and Spanish at Southern Methodist University. After graduating, she moved back to the area to work in real estate finance for four years, eventually landing in portfolio management trading securities. After mastering the art of the spreadsheet, she decided to open her own small business as a yoga and barre teacher and artist, which she did successfully for a decade.
In 2023, Bretton decided to merge her finance background and small business skills and join the family business. She brings organization and an eye for details and appreciates the jack of all trades nature of the role.
Bretton loves to dance, draw and paint. She inherited her father's love of learning, and applies courses taken at Rhode Island School of Design into the spatial considerations of building a beautiful home.
