Patrick grew up here in Deltona, FL playing baseball from the age of 4. During high school, he explored his talents and athletic abilities in various ways. His high school coach happened to be his English teacher and opened his eyes to the opportunities cheer could lead to after graduation. He ended up having the awesome opportunity to go to Wallace State in Alabama on a full ride not only for baseball, but also for cheer! He later moved to Atlanta where he was blessed with a chance to coach at Stingray Allstars for 3 years. Once moving back to Florida, he stepped away from the world of all-star cheering but didn’t disconnect completely while still helping many HS and college programs locally. It brings him a ton of joy seeing so many athletes that he has had a hand in teaching over the years be successful. From just making progress in a skill week to week, to watching them on the worlds floor, or making their collegiate team!
