Patrick was born in Colorado – but has all over the country – calling Utah, California, and Massachusetts home over the years.  He moved to central Oregon for its close proximity to snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, and the amazing beer.  He and his wife recently welcomed a baby boy to the family, and are enjoying parenthood. Patrick studied visual art in collage and love making things with his hands. A travel junkie, he worked two seasons at McMurdo station in Antarctica. A bit of a virtuoso, he’s plays acoustic guitar, piano,  drums, and the saxophone.
