Pat Simpson

Biography

No he's not an actor, and his national television viewers know it! In fact, that's one of the many reasons they trust him. For nearly two decades, Pat Simpson has been recognized as national television's home building and remodeling expert. His earlier years of hands-on building experience led into television in 1988 when he hosted the national home improvement series, Backyard America, on TNN.

In 1994 when HGTV (Home & Garden Television) launched, Pat became Host of one of the first series in their lineup, Fix-It-Up! Since that time, new shows were created and he became Host and Technical Director of two more hit series, Room To Improve, and the show by which all others set their standards, Before & After.

Pat Simpson not only became a household name, but due to his knowledge and laid-back style, he quickly became home improvement's Real Deal! No, he's the first to admit that he's not an actor...and it's obvious that his viewers like it that way.

It's always a joy to have Pat on The TODAY Show. . . . He's one of the few TV home improvement hosts that truly knows his stuff and that expertise clearly comes across to our viewers.

Pat's stories prompted memories of my dad and me putting the chain back on my bicycle when I was a kid. After the presentation I went to the lobby and phoned my dad. First time in a year.

Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.
