A NEW PERSPECTIVE
Look through the lens of experience
The most important thing in the world is experience. I give you or your company the opportunity to filter your ideas through my lens of 30 years of experience. So often I see businesses and individuals who just need a new prescription for their lens, they don't need new eyes. Or they need a second set of eyes to see where the real opportunity exists.
When you buy my time, you are buying proven experience to catapult you to the next level. I offer a free 30-minute consult to learn about you and make sure that I believe I can catalyze your situation. If I do, we can agree on a fee that best fits your needs.

Testimonials
Ryan Carey Senior Business Development & Strategy Manager Microsoft Corp
. “I worked with Pat to include a consumer offer from MyPublicInfo with the Microsoft Money packaged product and always found Pat to be professional and prepared. He consistently generated useful ideas and presented them in a worthwhile manner that demonstrated keen attention to both companies’ needs and desires. I wish every partner was as attentive and forthright as Pat! Over time I’ve come to recognize and enjoy his energy, enthusiasm, and “can-do” attitude across a broad range challenges. His skills and talents are well polished; he offers insights and analysis most others don’t identify right away. Above all, he’s downright charming, generous with his time, and a delight to talk with on any subject. I look forward to working with Pat more in the future.
