Patrick leads teams and finds solutions to mitigate “wicked problems” and has been doing so at the highest levels in the military for over 20 years. By placing the mission and his people first, he has led multidisciplinary teams through adversity and ambiguity in the corporate and international military environments. 

His approach to Owners in Honor is one of compassion and passion; compassion for the challenges veterans and small business owners face when making life-changing transitions and passion to find solutions that leave both with a sense of pride in accomplishment and purpose.
