After graduating Boston College High School, Patrick attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. During his four years, Patrick learned more than seamanship; he embraced the tenets of the Navy Strategic Sealift Midshipman Program which prioritize teamwork and the understanding that no single man or woman is more important than any unit. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as an Ensign in The United States Naval Reserves.
As an entrepreneur, Patrick knows small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Most new jobs are created by small businesses and we need to ensure that Marshfield and Scituate remain excellent places to start and grow a business. Patrick will be a resource for small business owners looking to navigate the complex state bureaucracy and hopes to simplify regulations to make it easier to operate a small business while still making sure consumers are protected from unfair business practices.
