Born and raised in the small eastern New Mexico town of Artesia, Patrick went on to pursue his education and eventually graduated from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He eventually went on to work for a large oil company in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Patrick's first exposure to the film industry was when he was cast as a waiter and scuba diver for the TV Pilot, Hotel del Sol. As filming in the Virgin Islands is very sporadic at best, Patrick went on to modeling, appearing in several publications mainly concentrating on tourism and fitness. Strong family ties would lead to him plan his eventual return to the United States. He followed the flourishing, world class film industry in New Mexico in recent years, which led him to eventual return in late 2009. Patrick continues to train as an actor and has worked steadily since his return.
