Patrick is indigenous to the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee.

"Career Highlights" He has read the Communist Manifesto three times, has shouted anti-globalist slogans in Munich, he's staged a one-man protest at the Iranian embassy in Paris, ran on rooftops in S. Korea, got lost in Alaska, got stuck in Hawaii, said "WOO-WOO" to the Pope in Rome last Christmas, almost got deported from Japan, and knows at least 23 secret recipes for Tennessee moonshine. He loves to wander off into the hills.... often barefoot, wants to personally do away with the two party political system in America, strongly believes that the frame work for global governance is here NOW, knows a man who has a real tail, and has been seen carrying on controversial conversations with preachers, chow hall cooks, the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, his state representative and people who live under bridges. And each of them seem to agree that he is...a perfect fit for this band!

But he still finds drummer Garren Warwick to be a bit odd.

When not reading, hiking, attending night classes or playing guitar,Patrick usually likes to change guitars and read some more...these are the rules. Right, Steve? No diversions allowed! And Television is only good for sports... broadcast programming is turning everyone into Idiot sheep slaves who can't think for themselves or communicate with others!!

Influences include (but are not limited to): Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Robert Silverberg, David Gilmour, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Bob Barker, Ross Perot, Brandi, Chris Brown, Dave Severson, Booger Joe McMurtry, Gerry Spencer, Jimmy Page, Jeff Regan, the good folks from the Tennessee Militia, Pat Buchannan, John Barbados, God, the Devil, Steve Chapman (but only for BAD things), Voice #13, Karl Marx, The Tennessee Hills, the very professional folks at the Bell Co. courthouse and correctional facility and all those long, long nights full of promises "Not to do THAT again".

Patrick has played guitar for 13 years and can darn near recall almost all of it.
