I met Patrick in 1989. He is a dear friend. People refer to him as a renaissance man, and I heartily agree. He raised 2 amazing sons, mostly on his own, is an accomplished builder/creator, and, in partnership with Bill Wesley, is the creator of the Array Mbira, a modern version of an ancient African instrument. Patrick and I have worked together in house construction and we were housemates. Patrick has been a continuous inspiration to me for everything from the home he creates, parties he throws, connections he makes, prosperity he cultivates…..he’s just a super awesome person….and I love him for all he is!
