Pat graduated from MSU in 1986 in sociology. He moved to Los Angeles and got into the Dean Witter stock broker program. He took a job for Geico Insurance before the L.A. scene took its toll and he moved back to Helena to start up a bead and incense business downtown in the late 80s. He learned to blow glass specializing in doll house figurines and sold his work all over the world.
Pat was a body-builder and power-lifter winning several trophies at various events around Montana. He attended Helena High and grew up in the south-central part of Helena.
Pat had a very unique personality, was an incredible conversationalist, and I learned a great deal about human nature and life just by spending time around him.
He was and is a great inspiration to me. R.I.P. my friend.
