\u201cI\u2019m most excited to live and work in the same town that I grew up in,\u201d began Dan Tompkins, Trinity-Pawling\u2019s new Director of Facilities. Tompkins joined the School at the start of the summer and is thrilled to be taking on the role in his hometown.<\/p>\n
Tompkins earned an engineering degree from SUNY Maritime and after a few years of sailing and working on commercial vessels, he began his work in the facilities industry. For the past several years, he has worked in New York City, most recently as the Supervisor of Engineering at Columbia University. Joining the Trinity-Pawling community in June not only meant a much shorter commute for Tompkins and more time with his family, but it also allowed him to return to his roots. \u201cI was born and raised in Pawling, so I grew up playing hockey and soccer on T-P\u2019s campus,\u201d he shared. \u201cIt\u2019s such a great part of the Pawling community. Now I am able to ensure that everyone in town can have the same relationship with the School that I had as a kid. It\u2019s a terrific opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Director of Facilities, Tompkins oversees all operations of the facilities and grounds on the School\u2019s 230-acre campus. The position is a massive undertaking, but Tompkins arrived poised and eager to dive in. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to putting my own touch on how campus runs,\u201d he explained. \u201cWith my mixed work background, I can bring a new perspective to the table as my team and I work to make T-P the best it can be.\u201d His main vision for his first year leading the Facilities Department is refining the already beautiful and historically rich campus. \u201cI want to bring it back to the basics,\u201d he shared. \u201cOur campus is so gorgeous already. With some fine-tuning and beautification, we can make it outstanding!\u201d<\/p>\n
Tompkins lives in Pawling with his wife, Angela, their 8-month-old twin daughters, Adalynn and Brelynn, and their 90-pound Bernese Mountain Dog, Lulu. \u201cThe new school year is just around the corner and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what T-P and Pawling have in store for me,\u201d Tompkins concluded. \u201cWhat an honor to serve this community. It\u2019s nice to be home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
