Patrick Hiebert
CEO - EcoVillages
Patrick Hiebert is the CEO and a Co-Founder of EcoVillages, a Freedom and Sustainability oriented community development company.
Patrick is a Canadian who has been designing eco-sensible and sustainability oriented communities for several decades. After founding several high tech software companies and selling them, Patrick and his son Spencer, lived on a boat and sailed the ocean. It was here that they honed their craft of self sustainability oriented living, generating their own power and fresh water, and focusing on a life of freedom away from reliance on big government and big corporation control.
Taking what he learned from living on the ocean, and wanting to live in a warmer climate and in a culture with more family centric values, Patrick moved from Canada to Central America and created the first off-grid luxury communities in Nicaragua.
Patrick has chosen to focus his varied skillset on EcoVillages communities. He created the F.I.R.S.T. (Freedom, Independence, Resilience, Sustainability and Transparency) standard for community development and is applying this philosophy to all the up and coming Veritas Village communities.
Through Mr. Hiebert’s guidance, EcoVillages has become the leader in this extremely popular type of forward thinking community development with EcoVillages designed communities in Panamá, Belize, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and growing into Mexico, Costs Rica, Ecuador, Argentina and beyond.
Patrick is passionate about giving back to the local communities that surround the Veritas Villages. He created the Help Them Help Themselves foundation over a decade ago to make a difference by giving people a hand up, not a hand out. Since then HTHT has built schools, a clinic, homes for local less fortunate communities and has led many medical and dental brigades bringing health care and dental care to thousands of people in developing countries. Mr. Hiebert, through Help Them Help Themselves, is also an avid supporter of saving the lives of threatened giant sea turtles and has created several turtle sanctuaries. As of this year Help Them Help Themselves turtle sanctuaries have saved over 15,000 baby giant sea turtles and allowed the population of these amazing endangered species to begin to rebuild.
Always breaking new ground in the community design and Agroforestry areas, Patrick uses his deep understanding of technology to not only design highly efficient homes and communities but also to envision new ways of using technology, such as using blockchain technology (NFTs) for property ownership and has made EcoVillages one of the very few community development companies that accept cryptocurrencies.
