“I’m excited to be joining PWC and the Communications & Community Relations Team,” said Patton. “PWC is an award-winning organization and a national leader in providing safe and reliable utility services. I look forward to serving the customers of PWC and the greater Fayetteville community.” 

Before joining PWC, Patton served as the Regional Director of State Government and Community Affairs for Verizon Communications and was a member of Verizon Maryland’s Senior Leadership Team.
