Patrick was born in the small town of Waupaca Wisconsin in 1972. With lots of room to roam his love for nature and the wilderness was instilled in him from the start.

Growing up, his family had an apple orchard, he took an interest in martial arts and played trombone in his high school marching band. He was a master on the keys as well.  This would just be the beginning of his passion for music as he went on to graduate from University at Stephens Point WI with a bachlors in music and psycology. Ambitious and driven, he took all he had to offer out west, leaving Wisonsin behind him.

I recall when I met him, he told the story of not knowing where he'd end up, but he took the highway as far as it could, landed on the  8 west until it dumped him in Ocean Beach. He didnt have a plan, he didn't have a job. Just an old beat up ford explorer and a sense of adventure.  And here began another chapter in his life.
