Patrick is a by-product of the sunshine state, Florida, born and raised. He spent most of his childhood bathing in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. He moved out west in 2001 to San Francisco and haven’t looked back since. He graduated from Dominican University of California with a BA degree in Humanities & Cross Cultural Studies and holds a Multiple Teaching Credential. He’s known only one line of work in his career, a career dedicated to community service- education! He has been teaching in many different facets for over 15 years. When he’s not teaching, he can be found surfing, shooting landscape photography, mountain biking, gardening, and traveling with his family. He loves a good motivation quote from time to time; ”Our ability to handle life’s challenges is a measures of our strength of character.” Les Brown
