Bio: Originally from Upstate New York, Patrick lives below the Mason-Dixon line and is fond of becoming a southerner. In 2004, he migrated to Washington, DC after graduating from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. He has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and openly admits to being a very, VERY nerdy guy. In his opinion, he's had a lot of interesting and challenging job titles that include his current career as a Technical Consultant. He's never really tried to write about himself in the third person before and finds it slightly un-nerving. Additionally, he would recommend that everybody try to think about themselves in an un-boring way in hopes of revealing just how crazy they really are. Patrick likes eating, sweating and riding the Metro, but refuses to do any of them at the same time.

A quote that has my attention: 'Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.' - Robertson Davies
