Patrick Council is a Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Scientist and a licensed Professional Engineer in Electric Power Systems—but titles only hint at the depth of his work. He’s a systems architect by nature—and by necessity. Long before launching Soluvay, he was the kid who took everything apart just to see how it worked. Reassembly came later. His early fascination with function turned into field experience, fixing broken appliances, deciphering failures, and diagnosing a dangerous electrical fault in his own home by age sixteen.

His path wasn’t linear. At eighteen, an unexpected setback nearly halted his academic ambitions. He earned his GED, enrolled in community college, and made an unexpected move—joining the U.S. Army in 2008. It wasn’t a detour. It was ignition.

After the military, Patrick earned a degree in electrical engineering and went on to design diagnostic tools for hydroelectric power systems. During the COVID-19 crisis, one of his solutions unlocked $30 million in revenue for his employer. But his vision extended far beyond the grid.

Patrick’s personal mission is clear:
To create, refine, and share systems that empower individuals, families, and communities to achieve lasting peace of mind by harmonizing awareness, problem solving, and automation.

That mission is now embodied in Soluvay and its sub-brands—platforms for translating deep system design into real-world tools that help people navigate complexity with clarity and confidence.

He doesn’t just solve problems.
He builds better frameworks for living.

I am Nate Reifenheiser, a fellow founder of Soluvay. Throughout my career, I have devoted myself to working closely with customers, and my lifelong passion for building businesses and creating meaningful projects has shaped my journey. My unwavering interest lies in helping as many individuals as humanly possible, seeking to make a lasting impact in their lives.

In addition to my involvement with Soluvay, I have dedicated the past year to running a weight loss program, tirelessly striving to assist individuals burdened by severe obesity. Through my own transformative journey, I have documented the challenges and triumphs, working ardently to empower others to shed weight and reclaim their mobility. Witnessing the profound transformations in these individuals has further fueled my commitment to making a difference.

Collaborating with Patrick was a natural fit, fueled by a shared motivation to alleviate the pain experienced by countless individuals on a daily basis. A pivotal moment that ignited our partnership was a reflection upon the vulnerability my wife faced. If unforeseen circumstances befell her or her vehicle, there was a stark possibility of her facing homelessness. Contemplating this sobering reality compelled me to consider the multitude of people who, much like my wife, might have fallen through the cracks and found themselves without a home. It is with deep compassion and a burning desire for change that I am committed to transforming the way we address homelessness and support those less fortunate.

Together, Patrick and I aspire to redefine societal norms, working tirelessly to extend our assistance to those in need. We firmly believe that every individual deserves a chance at a better life, and we are resolute in our pursuit to change the narrative surrounding homelessness and provide meaningful solutions.

At Soluvay, we are driven by an unwavering commitment to our principles, coupled with a genuine desire to uplift others. Join us in this remarkable journey as we strive to create a world where compassion, support, and unwavering dedication bring hope and brighter futures to those who need it most.
