Episode 2 - Pat Dorn 

On the next episode in the Land of Legacy series, you’ll hear from Pat Dorn, a SC Tree Farmer and investment advisor, who may just inspire you to buy some forest land of your own.

Pat Dorn started from scratch. With a shovel, some seedlings, and a dose of ambition, he grew his investment over time into what is now 2,600 acres of his own forest land. To Pat, investment isn’t just about stocks and bonds, it’s about his forest, career, family, and future. Pat and his father began their Legacy by purchasing a small 8-10 acre tract of land over 50 years ago. Since then, Pat has learned how to transform cheap, poor-quality land into something altogether beautiful, healthy and valuable. Not to mention, Pat has won several awards and recognitions for this very reason, and is a long-standing leader among the forest industry community. Now, Pat makes family forestry easier and smarter by educating others with wisdom from his on-the-ground experience, advice from professionals and colleagues, and as an expert and professional investment advisor himself – Founder of Anchor Investments.

Because of his humility, hard-working nature, and unbelievable talent as a true steward of the land, Pat became the South Carolina Tree Farmer of the Year in 2017. It’s no wonder why Pat’s clear-headed thinking, soothing voice of experience, and passion for the land, investments, and his family makes him a perfect addition to this Land of Legacy podcast series.
