Pat Brown
CEO & First Son

Starting by knocking on every door in his town to pay for college, to then randomly doing water special effects concerts for a bit, then back to having other people knock on doors to build Rent Sons here in Rhode Island, Pat is an interesting person. He likes to look at life as a grand adventure. He sees everything having deep beauty and meaning. He also can boogie like its 1999.

Luke Shirley

Born and raised in Charleston, my love for my community stems from the people that have made me who I am. First are my parents, John and Diana Shirley who first met in Downtown Charleston and taught me how to love and live humbly. Then there is the College of Charleston and all of the amazing professors who mentored me for those years, all of whom gave me a more nuanced understanding of how to “Know Thyself”. Lastly, there is my Crossfit Community that has instilled in me perseverance, integrity & community that I hope to extend through Rent Sons!
