Growing up in a household that echoed with barks and the pitter-pat of puppy paws, Pat fostered an innate understanding of the canine psyche at an early age. His unwavering passion for dogs drives his continual learning about their instinctual nature. Holding a deep belief that a wagging tail can brighten any day, Pat’s mission is to help improve lives through canine companionship.

Pat, along with his wife, Kathy and their two sons Sam and Jack, has lived in Apex since 2006. Their Labradoodle, Odie, joined the pack in 2010, and their Bernedoodle, Drake, joined in 2023. 

Prior to becoming a Pack Leader, Pat held multiple executive positions during a nearly 20-year career in the financial services industry, and then for 4 years as CFO for a technology start-up.
