Growing up homeschooled, Patrick has always had a love of learning. On graduating from a Cert IV in Youth ministry, Patrick spent years on mission, both overseas, and in Australia. Having both a B.A. majoring in History and Theology, and 10 years carpentry experience, Patrick firmly believes in the integration of academia, spiritual formation and practical learning, to create a well balanced man. He continued exploring these ideas while working as a high school teacher, and running resilience training courses. His particular passion is mentoring young men to grow in confidence and faith.
