Patrick was born in Zambia.
He was schooled in South Africa, trained as an engineer and his working career started at AECI.
As with most young men wanderlust took him travelling and once back in South Africa he was employed at Metal Box. He was head hunted by Coca Cola where he worked for 15 years in Africa and Europe. During a stint in Ireland he farmed rare breeds of cattle, pigs, sheep and ducks.
He left Coke, returned to South African and again farmed rare cattle breeds. This time in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands where his business mind, coupled with the training he'd received at Coke, led to humble beginnings as a part-time business coach.
Then Patrick discovered ActionCOACH! He is the KZN franchisee and a master coach - and from his base in The Quarry Centre he has recorded a remarkable success rate for businesses in the greater Midlands area and in Durban.
Patrick's wife Glynis manages the operations and the finances at ActionCOACH KZN. Their 13-year-old son Nicholas is a learner at Cowan House. The family lives in Hilton.
