Patrick grew up in Illinois and first connected with Camp Ozark in the fall of 2002 as a college freshman. While spending each of his college summers at Ozark, Patrick triple-majored as an undergraduate at Vanderbilt University. He then studied theology in graduate school for five years, earning masters degrees at Duke University and Harvard University along the way. Patrick is honored to now serve as the theologian-in-residence for Torn Family Camps. In the midst of all this, Patrick met his wife, Katie, at Camp Ozark during the summer of 2007. They welcomed their son, Bhrett, in 2012. Out and about in their Houston community, Patrick can be found coaching Bhrett’s soccer teams, teaching adult classes at Houston’s First Baptist Church, serving on the SBMSA Soccer Board, eating out at his and Katie’s favorite restaurants, and frequenting the movie theater for big-budget action flicks.
