Patrick McGrogan retired as President of Nivel Parts & Manufacturing and became a member of Nivel's Board. Pat has been the leader of Nivel for the past 15 years after purchasing the company in 1989. Pat's contributions to Nivel are countless. To list a few: Pat's philosophy of "Nivel is your supplier not your competitor", initiated Nivel's dealer only policy and has generated a loyal relationship between Nivel and its customers; in 1996 Pat relocated the company to Jacksonville, FL to better serve a broader customer base; in 1997 Pat consolidated Nivel's Phoenix location after an alliance with Federal Express enabled three-day delivery anywhere in the continental US. Numerous policies and standards that make Nivel what it is today have Pat's signature on them and will continue to guide the company for years to come.

While Pat retired for health concerns, he is still in good health and will continue to enjoy his many pursuits. Pat is still a guiding force for Nivel, from his seat on the Board of Directors, and is helping with the transition to a new President. Pat will be missed by all at Nivel, but not forgotten.
