Open the archives of Orange County’s early history in this episode of RUHM Podcast, on which, Tim sits down with guest, Jared Mathis, CEO of the Moulton Company. As descendent of Lewis and Nellie Gail Moulton, who were among the area’s earliest ranchers, Jared shares his family’s untold stories of the Orange County ranching era, and its lasting impact on the economic, social, architectural and cultural fabric of the area.
In this multi-generational chronical, we learn that the cowboy/pioneer spirit is much like that of the modern entrepreneur. Starting with a vision, changing your environment, giving up something good to get something better, and leading with quality of character, are pillars of success; for the Moultons, culminating in 22,000-acres of bountiful land spanning from Irvine to San Juan Capistrano and Laguna Beach.
At further examination of the family matriarch, Nellie Gail Moulton - a Renaissance woman in her own right - the two revel at her savvy business tactics that helped preserve generational wealth, discuss the lost art and importance of journaling, and appreciate her contributions and impact on the Fine Arts community of Orange County.
Today, the Moulton Company is a private equity asset management company with a portfolio that includes residential, commercial retail, and industrial properties across 13 states. To learn more about the Moulton Company, visit their website http://www.themoultonco.com/
To learn more about the rich history of Orange County ranching, the family established the Moulton Museum, which opened to the public in Summer of 2022. For further details, visit https://moultonmuseum.org/ .

Andrew Patterson, Founder & President of Patterson Custom Homes
In this episode of RUHM Podcast, Tim sits down with Orange County’s acclaimed custom home builder, Andrew Patterson, Founder and President of Patterson Custom Homes.
Known as the gold standard in building, Patterson Custom Home’s process was not developed overnight. Andrew shares the evolution of his 20-year career, recounting his very first home flip; his segue into the custom home domain; and the sacrifices that grew the company from a brand to a household name along Orange County’s coastline.
The two discuss how replacing the archaic way of building with what “makes sense” has resulted in a business model where cost transparency, design team integrations and a Lifetime Warranty are fundamental. As a result, the company generates more than 80 million in revenue per year, has formed lasting relationships within the community, and produces a product that sells at an 8-11% premium relative to the competition.
