My name is Patrick. I am a disciple of the living Christ by lifestyle, a musician by passion, a worship leader by calling, and a tech geek by professional trade. I am married to Raquel the one true love of my life. We live near Frisco, Texas.

I am fueled in life by my passion for music, the relationships Raquel and I have with our dearest friends, and the various hobbies with which I enjoy occupying my free time. I serve in ministry at Genesis Metro Church in Frisco — our home church — as a worship leader. I sing and play lead guitar, and provide musical direction in the band…one of the best teams of musicians and singers I’ve ever played with.

I love my life. I love my wife. I love our church.
