Patrick began rowing with the University of Massachusetts Amherst rowing club 32 years ago. He competed in the varsity heavy weight 8 and with his team accomplished 1st and 3rd place finishes at the Dad Vail regatta in 1980 and 1981. Those successes spurred him on to row for Vesper boat club in Philadelphia for over 10 years (where he met his future wife Debbi). As an elite heavy weight Pat competed with and against many of the top rowers in the US and the world striving to make the US national team; he is one of a select few to have ever beaten Mike Teti in a straight pair during Teti's tenure as a national team member.

Pat's coaching experience includes the UMass novice men in 1981-82 and the Temple novice men in 1983-84. He was the last rower cut from the national team pre-camp trial following mens' nationals in 1985. He won the gold medal in the straight pair at the Olympic Sport Festival in Baton Rouge in 1985 and the silver medal in the mens heavy weight double at the Houston Olympic Sports Festival in 1986.

Pat moved his family (Deb, Ky, Justin and Aly) to St. Louis in 1993 to attend Logan College of Chiropractic; he graduated in 1997 and has been too busy with his family, church and practice to indulge his rowing addiction until now.
