Pat was born and raised in Thunder Bay and has lived in the city most of his life.  He attended Ottawa University and began his accounting career there in 1988.  After a year or so working in Ottawa he returned to Thunder Bay and has worked for some other accounting firms we won't mention here.  

Pat and John knew each other from high school when they played basketball against each other.  When John was given an opportunity to take over the accounting practice he was working at, he asked Pat to join as his partner.

 Pat is married with two children.  He enjoys many sports activities especially cycling and basketball.  However, unlike many accountants (including two of his partners), Pat does not golf.  His one or two obligatory rounds per year are about all he can handle.
