Patrick is a native of the Detroit Michigan area. He graduated from the Eastman School of Music with a Performer’s Certificate in 2009. From there, he went on to become a member of the Rochester Philharmonic, before moving to Nashville in 2013 to play Associate Principal/3rd horn.

Patrick plays instruments made by the legendary Karl Hill who is the creator of Kortasmaki Horns.

Away from his instrument, Patrick is a health enthusiast and enjoys cycling and weight training. When his son was born in 2020, he took up yet another hobby of artisanal sourdough baking and looks forward to opening a small home subscription bakery in the near future.
