He developed a new love for the sport and currently competes primarily in Olympic Weightlifting. Being involved with a variety of sports throughout his life has shaped his appreciation of how capable the human body is.

With 10 years of personal training experience, Patrick found his passion for coaching through enrolling in a Health and Fitness vocational school program. Here is where he learned the fundamentals of personal training and earned his first certification. Following vocational school, he set forth to pursue a B.S. in Exercise Science with a dual concentration in Strength & Conditioning and Nutrition along with multiple specializations and certifications.

In addition to the credentials, he acquired a variety of hands-on experiences coaching alongside and learning from some of the most well respected names in the industry. These experiences include; collegiate strength and conditioning, private sector youth, collegiate, and professional sports performance training, special population and wellness programs at a hospital based fitness center, military development training, biomechanic research lab assistant, and physical rehabilitation centers. This helped Patrick to develop his own style of training that embodies Mach 1’s 3 E’s (Empathy, Education, Excellence). Every training session emphasizes movement quality and efficiency to safely and properly reach each client's goals.
