Patrick started his career in the mortgage industry as a Loan Processor in 1993. He was soon promoted to Underwriter and was later named Vice President of Residential & Commercial Mortgage Lending of a local community bank, where he maintained a pipeline of residential & commercial transactions from pre-application through to closing.

Through the years Patrick has worked for a variety of lending institutions-- national lenders, regional & community banks, mortgage brokerages and independent correspondent lenders, working in a number of roles to support and manage operations as well as sales and training of loan officers and sales teams.

In addition to actively working as a Loan Officer and Branch Manager, he is the director of the Agent Acceleration Academy, an organization dedicated to teaching sales and marketing on social media, primarily to real estate agents and other real estate related service industries in several states.

He is also the host of a video & podcast series, “The Wicked Awesome Report” where guests include local and national business owners and entrepreneurs, covering topics from sales and marketing, current events and general interest stories, all with an emphasis on local businesses to support the “shop local” movement.

With his rare mix of underwriting & operational background in the mortgage industry, combined with years of sales skills and mastery of social media for lead generation, Patrick is uniquely equipped to attract consumers that want to use his mortgage services as well as help them navigate the increasingly complex world of obtaining mortgage financing.
