Meet the Track 7 Family

2025 brought some new and exciting changes to Track 7! We are so proud to announce that Cate Kowalsky has joined the management team! Cate is the eldest daughter of Eileen and Jim Patterson. How awesome that Cate and her husband, Joe decided to make the move back home so Cate could help run the family business!

Our family loves the Village of Warwick and thoroughly enjoys small town living — especially in this particular small town. Jim Patterson was born and raised in Warwick and is excited to be a part of the business community of his hometown. When he’s not at Track 7, he is the Director of Capitol Improvements at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York City. After 35 years as a carpenter, Jim is called on when a custom shipping crate is needed.

John Wenzel also lives in Warwick, and has been part of the team at Track 7 since 2016. John is Track 7’s go-to guy when a custom box is needed for the many odd-shaped shipments that come across the Track 7 counter. John grew in Warwick, loves life in the Village. He’s a huge fan of the NY Rangers and when he’s not at the counter at Track 7, he can found on the golf course or the disc golf course.

Cate is really enjoying our awesome customers. She loves sharing a chit chat or a laugh with the customers - especially when they bring their dogs in for a treat. Cate is an awesome cook, she’s a plant lover and spends her free time with her husband, Joe and their dog Fred. She enjoys spending time in her garden and travel.

Eileen is shifting away from the counter at the Track 7 but is still very connected to the business. She is thrilled that her kids are running the business, “How lucky am I that I get to spend so much time with my grown children!” In addition to the print side of the business, Eileen is also focusing on Track 7’s latest endeavor, Track 7 Fulfillment Center. A separate space where we hold, pack and ship inventory for customers who have e-commerce websites. Those customers benefit from personal fulfillment service for lower fees than the large box fulfillment sites charge. As we like to say, “You’re sales have taken off and now you want your dining room back!” We know shipping isn’t the most interesting part of your new business; that’s where we come in.

As active members of Warwick’s small business community, the Patterson/Wenzel family’s commitment to community service is an important tradition at Track 7. “As a family-run business, there’s a special connection we have with our fellow Warwickians,” Eileen said. “We have a nice rapport with our customers because our daily goal is service with a smile — maybe even a laugh or two.”
