I’ve worked closely with Patrick on nonprofit board management and volunteer networking (at local, national and international levels) for more than a decade. He’s a remarkable human being who makes improbable and important things happen for communities and in the lives of others. Patrick knows how to motivate people and manage projects successfully. He’s a creative and persuasive communicator who is genuinely curious and really a lot of fun to work with. I couldn’t offer a more enthusiastic recommendation than Patrick for organizations looking for help building community and creating meaningful outcomes.

I have had the privilege of working with Patrick for nearly ten years. Though he probably didn’t even realize it, through our working relationship, his mentorship bestowed upon me many lessons on how to be an effective organizational leader. He excels as a fundraiser and grant writer. If you are looking to improve your organization’s fundraising efforts or organizational leadership skills, I highly recommend working with Patrick.
