Patrick began his coaching career with CrossFit in 2009, but his fitness journey really started in 2007 when he was talked into doing the benchmark workout named: “Fran” and never looked back. He took this new found passion for health & fitness and pursued a degree in Exercise Science and Athletic Coaching from Saginaw Valley State University.

From 2009 to 2015, Patrick has coached at a number of affiliates and University in Michigan, his home state, notably: CrossFit Petoskey, Chemical City CrossFit, Q2 CrossFit, Next Level Fitness, and started his own CrossFit club at his university… all before moving to New York City.

Patrick moved to NYC to serve as the Head Coach at CrossFit Columbus Circle. In 2020, you could find him coaching at CrossFit South Brooklyn and now at CrossFit Union Square.

Patrick’s experience doesn’t end with CrossFit; he also holds the CSCS from the National Strength & Conditioning Association as well as certifications from USA Weightlifting, NASM, and Precision Nutrition. He had the honor of serving as an Assistant Coach for both the SVSU Strength & Conditioning team and the NCAA DII Women’s Soccer program. Patrick enjoys teaching all aspects of fitness but specializes in Olympic Lifting and helping people overcome set-backs/injury to achieve their fitness goals.

He holds the Certified CrossFit Trainer (CF-L3) designation and spends his free time serving as a Judge for various Regionals, Sanctionals, and the CrossFit Games. He also serves as a Judge liaison for professional CrossFit athletes looking to complete qualifier workouts in their own affiliates.
He is currently working towards opening his own affiliate/training hub, earning his CF-L4, and aspires to be a member of the CrossFit Level 1 seminar staff to share his passion and experience with new CrossFitters and future CrossFit coaches.
