Patrick has studied Jazz Guitar Performance at Northern Illinois University, but ultimately received a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Music and New Media Technology. His musical performance history started at eleven years old when he began playing saxophone in elementary school. Since then, he has been persistent in his performing and recording of music in several bands with many different genres. While studying guitar in college, he realized he loved sharing what he learned with other budding musicians. This, combined with his experience as a song-writer and composer, allowed him to teach young artists how to practically use their knowledge to create their own masterpieces. His favorite part about teaching these skills is that he can be instrumental in future music that he, himself, will enjoy listening to.
