QUICK FACTS:

A TRAILBLAZING INITIATOR THAT BREAKS DOWN DOORS:
Patrick started in the industry interning with the Tampa Bay Lightning for the 1999 All-Star game. This internship, along with his internship with the NY Yankees helped him understand that if he wanted to stay in the industry, he would have to take initiative & separate himself from the others. He consistently looked for gray areas that had opportunity to make himself valuable. No task was too small for Patrick to take on and own with out being asked.

His love for working in the sport industry stems from being a former athlete. He keeps saying yes to this space because it allows him to tap into the community without wearing a uniform. Patrick loves to be representing a brand and being a part of something bigger than himself. He may not be an athlete anymore but he still eats, breathes, and lives sports.

Patrick has created lasting marks everywhere he has worked. In NY he was one of the first people to introduce bright colored uniforms to make the staff stand out. He also was a part of the first sensory inclusiveness team in the NBA which had a ripple effect on the entire industry.

BEYOND THE EVENTS:
Patrick enjoys spending his time outside of work hanging with his partner Shelby and taking care of projects around the house. When there’s time to tackle the honey-do list, Patrick’s eager to get things checked off.

Patrick loves to travel and has a bucket list to travel overseas. He is part Korean so he would specifically love to travel with his Mother to Korea.

He is originally from Clearwater/Tampa, FL area. He is very competitive and is a former athlete, competing in beach volleyball, baseball, track/high jumping and football.
