Patrick works with clients to identify and meet their financial goals. The strategic elements of investment and financial planning and the tangible impact a trusted advisor can play in helping a client meet their long-term goals is what makes his role exciting and rewarding.

Patrick earned his B.B.A. in Finance from Southern Methodist University and his Masters of Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance and Investments from the Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis.
