hi, this is patrick

I got my start at 16 writing open-house flyers for a real estate agency, severely over-indexing on words like “plethora” and “pristine”. Fast forward to however old I am now (27, I hate updating this) and I still think P-words are sick— I’ve just since learned what “open floor plan” actually means.

I'm pretty short, I'm a black belt, I keep a Santa tapestry under my desk at all times, I mediocrely collect instruments, mediocrely-ly skateboard, and I can drink bloody mary's at any hour. My greatest strength? I'm dumb as hell.

Wanna hear what I sound like? Here’s that time McDonald’s made a commercial about me, for some reason.
