Patrick was born in Marseille, France in 1965. He lived in the South Pacific and in Canada for a number of years before coming to study in the United States. He received his Juris Doctor from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University. He now focuses his practice in the areas of business and real estate litigation as well as industrial collections. Patrick's philosophy in litigation is that any suit handled by his firm should be won before trial. He emphasizes case management, strategy and tactics in the firm with that end in mind.

Patrick and his lovely wife of 16 years, Barbara, have four children. Patrick practiced martial arts for about 10 years (when his body finally gave up). He now enjoys large and medium format photography, art, watching his boys wrestle, yoga and chess. Patrick's goal in practicing law is to form long-lasting relationships on both professional and personal levels, because he feels that working for clients he likes and trusts enables him to put forth his best effort.
