our team

pondosa projects is named for the tiny hamlet of Pondosa, Oregon. Other than a general store, little remains of the once-thriving mill town. It’s a beautiful place, surrounded by mountains and rolling sagebrush hills, far away from civilization. Our Founder & President grew up in the next village over.

Andre grew up in northeastern Oregon and southern Idaho and moved to Baltimore in 2009 to pursue a Master’s degree at Morgan State University. Despite his rural upbringing, he has always been passionate about cities. After working as a city planner and architect, he started renovating vacant homes in 2013, and founded Pondosa Projects in 2022.

Andre lives in central Baltimore and is active in his community association, as well as other initiatives to improve his adopted hometown. When he’s not working, Andre enjoys camping in the mountains, skiing, hiking, golf, gardening, learning new languages (8 and counting), and cheering for Everton FC. 

Oscar grew up in Baltimore, a city that shaped who he is with its grit, culture, and strong sense of community. From an early age, he learned the value of hard work and perseverance. One of his proudest memories is the day he left for college: it was more than just a move; it was a milestone. It represented years of dedication, the support of his family, and a leap toward a future he had dreamed of. That moment was a turning point, and it continues to inspire everything he strives for today.  

Pat is a lifetime resident of suburban Maryland outside of Baltimore.  She has an Associates Degree in Accounting and has spent many years working in and around Baltimore.

Pat currently lives in Elkridge, Maryland.  She am the proud matriarch of a large family and spends most of her free time interacting with them. When she's not working, Pat enjoys time camping,  spending time at her beach house and attending the Terps lacrosse games.
