Mr. Dabrowski graduated from Purdue University with a B.S. in Civil Engineering, with a focus in hydraulics and hydrology. He began his career as a site development engineer, gaining experience in multifamily, single family, industrial, municipal, and commercial markets, primarily in Illinois and Indiana. He joined Pedcor as a Vice President of Civil Engineering in 2023. Mr. Dabrowski is a licensed professional engineer in Indiana.

Colin Patterson joined Pedcor in spring 2021 with more than 25 years of experience in civil engineering and construction, including 17 years specializing in site development. He is a licensed professional engineer in Indiana and a 1995 graduate of Tri-State University (now Trine University). 

As an experienced consultant—most recently serving as a senior project engineer at American Structurepoint, Inc., in Indianapolis—Colin managed all aspects of site planning and development for a wide range of projects including retail development, industrial sites, municipal facilities, federal, airports, residential subdivisions, and multi-family housing. His expertise includes drainage, grading, water quality design, and underground detention. Colin has evaluated prospective projects to identify scope of work, time, and expense estimates; directed technical consultants including structural engineers, environmental engineers, surveyors, site electrical designers, landscapers, geo techs, utility locate services, and local utility representatives; coordinated with municipal planning and engineering offices, INDOT, IDEM, DNR, USAC, and FAA; submitted site documents for municipal review; represented clients at BZA, TAC and Plan Commission meetings; and resolved differences for timely approval. 

Colin is known as a creative problem-solver, able to uncover innovative solutions to complex challenges. His stormwater management solution for Hendricks Gateway Park near Indianapolis is one example. He routinely explains engineering concepts to clients and other non-engineers, identifies opportunities for time and cost savings, and recommends solutions to address competing needs of stakeholders.

Outside of the workplace, Colin is active in urban beekeeping initiatives. He spends many weekends in March through November tending multiple hives in his urban backyard. 

Ms. Strickland has over fifteen years of site/civil design and real estate development experience. She graduated with her Bachelors of Civil Engineering from Auburn University in 1999, taking her first job with a national engineering firm in Atlanta, GA. She continued to develop her site engineering expertise when she moved to Indianapolis in 2001, ultimately obtaining her Professional Engineering Licenses in Indiana, Florida, and Colorado. Ms. Strickland developed a focus area of Low Impact Development (LID) and Sustainable Design during her time on the design side, as well as help establish a Site Design Department in a transportation heavy design firm.

Ms. Strickland’s interest in the real estate development side came shortly after obtaining her licensure, and she quickly gained experience nationwide with her first job in Commercial Development at Kite Realty Group in 2005. Her experience encompasses the full development process, from site selection through construction, including design coordination and entitlements. Before joining Pedcor in 2016, her last role in Healthcare Development included implementing the Integrated Project Delivery process within her team, bringing the full design and construction team together for a more efficient project design and delivery. Ms. Strickland joined Pedcor as a Vice President in Development, where she is responsible for the coordination of the civil engineering design and entitlement process for projects, nationwide.

Mr. Vance hails from Australia where he studied a Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental) at the University of Wollongong, graduating with honors. He worked in the Environmental and Mining sectors and studied a Master of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of New England as well as Business Foundations at the Melbourne Business School.

After relocating countries to his wife’s hometown in Indiana, Jarreth worked in civil site development and water resource capacities at consulting firms EMH+T and The Veridus Group. Mr. Vance lead The Veridus Group’s Engineering Department as Director before joining Pedcor in 2020.
