Patrick is a relentless competitor, entrepreneur, coach, mentor and servant leader who wears many hats. Yet, his favorite two hats are husband and dad as he is the grateful father of nine adult kids and three grandkids. He was born into a modest, blue-collar Catholic family with New Orleans, LA roots and a proud English & Italian heritage. He and his brother Johnny grew up in Montana where life in Big Sky Country was an adventure with its wide open spaces. The protestant work ethic in Montana, culture, exceptional educational system and Younglife in Billings shaped his perspective and values.

After high school, Patrick worked as a pipe fitter during summer / winter semesters to pay his way through two years of college in Hammond, Louisiana. He left college in January 1983 at age 21 to pursue a career in sales with the same contractor he labored for as a college student where he developed a robust new market within the timber industry paving the way to new economic growth & viability. Patrick brought a portfolio of new projects with Manville Products, Willamette Industries and International Paper which sustained company’s operations for more than a decade.

After a very successful first year of business development, Patrick was recruited at 22 to a well-established, respected Milwaukee, WI company. Three years later, a telecom startup company asked him to join their biz development team and the startup grew from $400,000 in year one to $22M then acquired by WorldCom, Jackson, MS. Patrick resigned from the telecom startup company in January 1990 to start Win Corporation, his first business with two mentors. Win Corporation was launched as a national telecom brokerage firm and an alliance partner of AT&T, TelecomUSA, & Sprint. The firm had great sales success but was a failed partnership and taught Patrick to be more objective, measured and aligned with on the client side of the market, not the provider side.

He launched Unrivaled Advisors in April 1991, a creative impact agency that operates in Dallas today. Two years later, Patrick disrupted the northwest Florida tourism market in April 1993. He executive a vision to streamline how tourists connected with resorts, hoteliers, charter boats, dive shops and restaurants. He captured all tourist inquires for northwest Florida tourist inquiries through innovative 24 hour network.

Unrivaled Advisors morphed into a full service management advisory by the year 2000.

He is the founder of Unrivaled Development Group introducing a proven economic model of sustainable commercial real estate development with a 16+ year history used by Chevron USA, NRG Energy, Koch Industries, Embassy Suites, Bank of America, etc. The model elevates a development project’s performance above the Target IRR by 150% in comparison to how the asset class typically performs.

He started The Venture Foundry in November 2012 with the ambition to develop a portfolio of ventures. Most daring souls would have raised outside money from partners to launch the new company, but he chose to bootstrap the company with his own resources. He incubated 31 startups which included the world’s first smartphone defense case in the launch of Yellow Jacket, LLC. A maker of new smartphone case with a 7 million volt stun gun and battery pack in the product design.
