He graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 2014 and later completed his MBA in 2020, both from the University of Iowa.

This desire to help combined with his passion for hunting is what initially led him to Aiming for a Cure. After attending a few AFAC banquets, meeting some of the amazing people involved in the foundation, and seeing the huge positive impact they were having, Patrick decided to join the organization. He is passionate about hunting, fishing, and improving wildlife habitat. Patrick and his wife Andrea live in Center Point with their two black labs.
