Hi! My name is Patrick — and I’m a storyteller.
Throughout my life, this moniker has taken many shapes. At Belmont University, where I earned a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theater, this took the form of stage performer. After graduation, I spent over a decade performing on ships, stages, and in national tours, including Hairspray, Jekyll & Hyde, Legally Blonde, and Andy Blankenbeuhler’s tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Living in New York City, there were interesting stories being told all around me — in subways, on the street, in the restaurants and bars I’d meet friends in, and the magical venues hidden behind unassuming façades that open up for those who are in the know. It was in that singular city that I casually stepped into the world of boutique catering and luxury events and unknowingly learned the art of storytelling through event production. That’s where I first learned how to build emotion into every moment — not just onstage, but in space, timing, and tone.
In 2016, a friend asked me something that would change everything for me:
"What would you change about the cruise industry to make it better? Cooler? Attractive to people like us?"
The answer to that question launched a five-year journey as a Creative Producer with Richard Branson’s startup, Virgin Voyages, where I helped create 150+ hours of experience programming for their ladyships — a storyteller’s dream!
Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of working with global brands like Explora Journeys, Four Seasons Yachts, Cruise Saudi, Princess Cruises, Pier Sixty-Six, and The Boca Raton — helping them define, design, and deliver unforgettable branded experiences. My role often blends creative direction, copywriting, brand strategy, and sustainable production.
Now, I work with teams that want to create magic — and need a sharp, soulful voice to help shape it.
Creative Philosophy
I believe that everything is storytelling.
The best branding, marketing, and guest experiences don’t just look good — they mean something.
My work lives in the balance of poetic storytelling and practical execution. I don’t just help brands sound good — I help them make people feel something. I build connection, clarity, and emotional resonance from the inside out.
