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 coastal communities, Marshfield and Scituate depend on seawalls to keep our streets and homes protected from flooding. Unfortunately, many portions of our seawalls were constructed decades ago and are in desperate need of repair. As your next State Representative, Patrick will fight to make sure funding for seawalls and coastal restoration are a priority in the state budget.
