About Havelock Wool
Connect with the Havelock Flock
It is our goal to produce a truly superior building product with unrivaled integrity. We seek to work with those who appreciate the value of alternative building products and a healthier, more sustainable ecosystem. We are actively building consumer awareness concerning “traditional” toxic building materials.
Andrew Legge
Andrew is founder and managing partner of Havelock Wool. He has a passion for all things New Zealand, where the company procures its wool, that is mirrored by a desire to affect positive change in the built environment. He has lived and traveled around the world and seeks to leverage those experiences in bringing a biophilic, best practice to an industry known to contribute excessive waste to our world.
Andrew is a high-energy individual who is uncomfortable without entirely too much to do. Studies include University of Chicago Booth School of Business (MBA, Finance) and Hampden- Sydney College (BA, History).
Aleksandra Strub – Advisor
Aleks works with companies dedicated to addressing the climate crisis. She was the first CMO of Imperfect Foods where she turned food waste into a household name. She currently advises a variety of companies in the climate space in the carbon markets, food system, and green buildings. She currently resides in Portland, Maine with her partner and two wild children who would live in the ocean if they could – just like she would turn everything in her house into wool if she could.
Josh Schohn – Director Of Sales
Josh Schohn is originally from Massachusetts. He joined Havelock Wool as the Director of Sales. After graduating from UMass Amherst in 1999, he immediately moved west to start enjoying the Lake Tahoe community and its many outdoor resources.
Josh’s extensive background in both the sales and service industries make him particularly well-suited as our Director of Sales. He’s eager to leverage his previous experiences in driving sales and customer relationships across each segment of our channel partners.
In his spare time, Josh recreates in the Reno/Tahoe area with his wife and 2 screaming children.
Peter Blanchard – Director Of Logistics
Peter has been kind enough to occupy a few seats at Havelock and recently jumped on the logistics grenade. Peter graduated from Duke University in 1999 and moved to San Francisco. After 8 years in finance he was happy to leave the trading community for greener pastures at the Presidio Graduate School where he earned an MBA in Sustainable Management in 2012. He plays a leading role in sustainability projects at Havelock while working ferociously to ensure on-time deliveries to an ever-increasing customer base.
Arlan Lilleioen – Facilities Manager
There is very little Arlan hasn’t experienced and even less that he’s not capable of sorting out. His skill set spans from flying to writing code. There aren’t many others who are comfortable when it comes to the intricacies of our 60 year old, repurposed, insulation production machinery. And lest we not forget he was a deputy sheriff too!
Calvin Patmont – Director of Production and Engineering
Calvin Patmont, a Bay Area native and Boston University alum, serves as Havelock Wool’s Director of Production and Engineering. Joining in 2023 with a background spanning batteries to airships, Calvin’s central mission is spearheading our new manufacturing line. Beyond his professional pursuits, he’s an avid biker, and coffee roaster. Weekends often find him adventuring with his wife and son.
