Pat attended Mater Dei High School and later graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with a Bachelor’s in Communications and Western Kentucky University with a Master’s Degree.
Pat's true passion and calling in life was his career in teaching. He taught various courses at Ivy Tech Community College and University of Southern Indiana. His favorite course to be a part of was Interpersonal Communications. Pat also taught adults who were working toward a GED at YouthBuild Evansville. During and after his time teaching, Pat enjoyed auctioning and making a living through eBay.
Above all else, Pat loved his home and his family. He worked tirelessly to provide for and enjoy the time spent with friends and family. He enjoyed cooking for loved ones, home improvement projects, fishing, spending time outdoors, cheering on IU basketball and Notre Dame football, watching endless reruns of M*A*S*H, The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie, and taking care of his animals.
