Patrick studied contemporary American poetry with his B.A. in English from UNH, and has a long background as a bicycle sales professional, a craft cocktail bartender (from Brooklyn to New Orleans, and New Jersey to New Hampshire), and happily toiled away the entirety of his 20s as the creative force behind the wildly unsuccessful Bushwick band "Of Course!"

Having grown up in Maine, he can't get enough of being outside in every season.
