PAT HAMILL
Growing up in the Midwest, Pat Hamill was attracted to Colorado because of the mountains and his passion for skiing. He made the move in the late 1970s to attend the University of Denver and the Daniels College of Business. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree from the Burns School of Real Estate and Construction Management in 1981, he founded Oakwood Homes ten years later, which grew to become one of the largest homebuilding companies in the Denver area. In 2017, Oakwood was sold to Berkshire Hathaway and is a premier master-plan developer in Colorado, Utah, and Arizona.
Oakwood Homes is a company that truly represents Hamill’s spirit and dedication to the communities it serves. In 2021, the company launched On2Homes, a modular product that provides housing at 40 percent of the area median housing price. Hamill’s passion for supporting the community was instilled in him at a young age; he didn’t grow up in the wealthiest family but his father taught his children to give back as often as they could. He co-founded both the BuildStrong Education Foundation and the 21st Century High-Tech Academies at Martin Luther King Middle School and Montbello High School in the Green Valley Ranch area. He has been a member of the board for the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver, Colorado Golf Foundation, First Western Trust Bank, and chaired Colorado Concern, which is a group of top executives focused on enhancing and protecting the state’s business climate.
Hamill enjoys his days golfing, skiing, and traveling with his two children and seven grandchildren. When asked what his dream for the future is, he said, “My goal is to bounce my last check. I just want to get the timing right."
