About Patrick
Hi everyone, my name is Patrick! I'm here to help you gain admittance to a top graduate school program (MBA or MPA) and/or help you through the challenging consulting process. A little about me - I attended The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina for my undergraduate studies and graduated as the top ranked student (#1 out of 2,200+). After college I became and Infantry Officer in the Marines for 7 years and absolutely loved it. I loved the camaraderie, the challenges, and the noble sense of purpose in serving something greater than myself. My career was cut short due to an injury I sustained on my last deployment. That is when I decided to apply to graduate school. I attended and graduated from the dual degree program at Wharton and Harvard where I earned my MBA from Wharton ('22) and my MPA from the Harvard Kennedy School ('23). I did my internship with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and will be joining them full-time as a Consultant in there NYC office. Outside of work - I compete in adaptive sports and will be representing Team USA this year at the 2023 Invictus Games being held in Germany where I am the team captain .
Why do I coach?
I coach/mentor because I would not have graduated from two top Ivy League schools or work for a prestigious firm such as BCG if it were not for the incredible coaching and mentoring I received along the way. This is my way of paying it forward and helping the next generation.
