Pat has been a musician playing a wide variety of music for his entire life. After touring for 5 years in the early 80’s backing up bands such as Survivor, Huey Lewis and the News, Rare Earth, The Look, and the Greg Kihn Band Pat took a “day job” but never stopped playing and recording…..continuing to fuel his passion for music. Pat has always taken that passion for all things creative and channeled it back towards what he has always loved…playing music!

Pat’s ability to be a hard hitting and authoritative drummer or a melodic subtle percussionist as needed keeps the energy high and engaging…keeping audiences moving to, listening to, and enjoying what ever style of music the band is groovin’ on.
