Pat was born and raised in South Florida with Ft. Lauderdale his primary stomping ground of youth. He became a rambling wreck from Georgia Tech‐ earning a Bachelor in Electrical Engineering, returning to Florida to start adulthood life as an Engineer for Florida Power & Light, Nuclear Division. There, a good decade was had fishing, SCUBA diving, boating, and consuming conch fritters. But the winds were beckoning “Go West, Young Man…” and it was in Portland, Oregon that he attended law school, earning a J.D., and more importantly, finding his life partner, Katie (who also earned a J.D.). Since Pat was from Florida, and Katie from California, it only made sense that they should move to Minnesota to start their family and legal careers. The winds, this time much colder, again beckoned for a westward migration, this time to Colorado. Pat became in‐house patent counsel for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, and then later returned to private practice in Parker, where he was introduced to Rotary, and is now patent counsel for a Denver law firm.
