Pat, an Ohio native, bills himself as an actor and singer. He also produces a healthy amount of new music theater through his work with Raw Impressions, Inc.

A graduate of Northwestern University, he started college life as a vocal performance major studying with Mignon Dunn. His priorities shifted during his second year and he transferred to the School of Speech, finally graduating (on time) with a degree in theater.

Professionally credits include appearances in venues such as Actors Theater of Louisville, Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, HERE, 78th Street Theater Lab, and manhattantheatresource.

Since moving to New York, Patrick has had the opportunity to participate in many off-off broadway workshops and readings and the New Dramatists Composer/Librettist Studio. He has trained with the SITI Company. He assisted Meredith Monk during her process for the piece Mercy.

During the Composer/Librettist Studio, Patrick met David Rodwin and, some months later, they co-founded Raw Impressions, Inc. Patrick has performed on the stage of Club LaMaMa many times with Raw Impressions, and has produced or co-produced each of Raw Impressions Music Theater Events.

Patrick was the baritone standby for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's 2003 National Tour and is performed in The Mikado in Chicago in 2005 after which he made his Broadway debut in Le Stat.
