Patrick, who has been visually and musically creative from his youth, recieved a Bachelor of Fine Arts and an MBA at Mississippi State University. Upon graduation, Patrick was befriended by a local Pastor who led him to an adult acceptance of Jesus through a genuine relationship and a mutual interest in guitar.
Soon after purchasing his first guitar since childhood, Patrick began writing music. Lyrically, a common thread of spiritual significance emerged. After moving to Hattiesburg, Patrick become a member of Grace Temple Church and soon joined the Music Ministry. Patrick recalls the frightening journey as he had never played with other musicians or in a live setting. Passion trumped fear as he is still a part of the team in the same church more than 25 years later.
Patrick met Scarlet and the two married. "I knew that God had brought us together as I recognized the qualities she possessed that I wasn't smart enough to seek in a partner. She makes me a better person!" states Patrick as he describes their relationship. Patrick and Scarlet have been married for 22 years and have two children, Dylan and Roman.
Thankful for the countless relationships and mentors who have been key disciplers, Patrick now channels his creative characteristics to share a story of the indescribable love of God for each of us. "My prayer has always been that God will say something through my work that words can't say, bringing others to the full knowledge and embrace of our savior, Jesus.
