Kara Berg

Owner

Kara Berg

Eighteen years ago Kara had a part-time job at Pat’s, a dog and some cats. Now she’s the co-owner, with an entire menagerie at home that includes chickens, ducks, cats, a dog and a husband. If there’s something you want to know about clothing or promotional products, Kara is the one who can help you, with her encyclopedic knowledge of our products always at her fingertips. After a peripatetic childhood as a member of a Park Service family, she has settled happily in Gunnison for the last two-plus decades, although she still loves to travel, hike and camp.

TL Livermore

Owner

TL Livermore

TL, a proud graduate of Lake Elementary (then a K-6 school), Ruland Junior High (long gone), Gunnison High School (still here, but looks nothing the same) and the University of Colorado-Boulder, spent 10 years as a journalist and three as a bookseller, intermingled with time as an adjunct English lecturer at WSC and winter airline baggage router, before coming in to offer assistance to his sick friend Pat Greene. Almost 24 years later, he’s still here, and so is Pat’s Screen Printing. We like to think both of these things would make Pat happy.

Gilly has called the Gunnison Valley home for the past 31 years, after leaving the United Kingdom. She came via South America to visit a friend, and the rest is history. Some of her many hats include being the mother of two and a “crazy cat lady.” She has worked at both ends of the valley, choosing businesses that encourage her creative side and her love of meeting and helping people. This she gets to experience at Pat’s on a regular basis, since joining the team last fall. When she’s not working, she enjoys getting creative with recycled projects, riding a bike, paddling a kayak and generally enjoying this wonderful place she calls home.
