For 15 years I’ve been serving communities internationally and domestically, through thoughtful community outreach and engagement that facilitates connection points for cause based missions. I’ve served in five countries: England, Mauritania, Gambia, Bolivia, and Mexico. I have organized fundraisers, community events, developed outreach campaigns and programs with several international and local organizations such as: Denver’s Road Home, Hunger Free Colorado, Habitat for Humanity, Mental Health America, Epworth Foundation, Extreme Community Makeover, Global Refuge International, She Rescue Home, Extended Hands Of Hope, Art & Justice League, Project Worthmore, Heaven Fest, Invisible Children, and Love 146.

“Patrick gave our organization an opportunity to think broadly about how we are communicating with people on all levels – through email, mail, in person, social media, and our website – by evaluating communication strategies that are tied into our fundraising platforms and thinking through how to communicate with people most effectively.”
Angela Bomgaars, Executive Director, Extreme Community Makeover
Great Story Telling
I love developing Campaigns that use video, print, digital, and social media forums to build a following, educate the public, and deliver experiences that will inspire a community to support a worthy cause.

Serving the community and those who are leading the way
The Cause
I desire to see communities progress towards transformation in our hearts, minds, and actions. I believe we all have the infinite potential to be transformative agents from our business to our philanthropy. My intention is to be an agent that strengthens our efforts as a community. I do this by working collaboratively to build capacity and implement engagement strategies for social ventures and nonprofits. I take creative ideas and drive them through thoughtful common sense strategies. I understand that in order for any mission to thrive, leaders must be engaged internally to grow and adapt while people are being engaged externally to support a cause. I’m committed to serving the community and those who are leading the way for societal transformation.

“The campaign that we built, under Patrick’s leadership, highlighted themes that emerged directly from the words and experiences of villagers of the previous tiny home village. Our constituency then responded to the message by launching their own fundraisers that would go towards our funding goals. Patrick’s work is thoughtful, creative, and crisp. He communicates messages clearly through multiple mediums in a way that connects with human beings.”

Capacity Building
I work to improve and enhance an organization’s ability to achieve its mission and sustain itself over time. When capacity building is successful, it strengthens an organization’s ability to have a significant, positive impact on lives and communities.
Marketing
Build a following and create an engagement strategy to connect people to your cause. Build a volunteer base and invite the community to be constituents. I see the big picture and put creative ideas into strategic action. I love developing partnerships, events, campaigns, and strengthening brands.
Fundraising
Fundraising is critical to the life of an organization but it is rarely easy to pull off. I deliver experiences that inspire the community, engage constituents, and raise money for your cause.
