About Patrick

grew up with a very close family, with two older brothers who were his heroes, a younger sister who was his best friend, and wonderful parents who were his biggest fans. As an adult, his family is still just as close, even though they now live all over the country (thank you, FaceTime!).
works in education, with experience teaching and writing curriculum for grades K-12, so our child will have the very best tutor and advocate when it comes to school. They’ll also have access to a private coach and lifelong teammate due to Pat’s experience playing and coaching multiple sports.
From Rochelle: It’s impossible not to love Patrick. From co-workers to friends to complete strangers, he’s genuinely polite and friendly, generous with his time, and endlessly patient. He’s a loyal and supportive friend, an almost annoyingly perfect husband, and somehow an even better father (seriously, the kind of dad they write books about). Kids are naturally drawn to his ever-present smile and animated facial expressions. Our nieces and nephews line up to play with this one-man-sports-team/human-jungle-gym. The joyful laughs and shouts as he and our son play together are my favorite sounds in the world. I can’t wait to add another little voice to the mix.
