Patrick’s life journey has spanned many different professions. Growing up in Marin County, in the San Francisco Bay Area he began his career working for Bordenave’s French Bakery, who specialized in the world-famous sourdough French bread the area is known for. He followed three generations of his family working for the same institution, eventually working his way up to production manager. Following his time at Bordenave’s he attended culinary school and is a certified Pastry Chef, which led to his first opportunity in senior living.
In 1997 Patrick began work at the newly opened San Francisco Towers, a high rise CCRC in downtown San Franciso. This is where his sense of servant leadership began. The first pastry chef at a senior facility on the west coast led to more opportunities at the Towers. He moved from pastry chef to executive chef and then into plant operations.
In 2007 Patrick accepted a position with the Archdiocese of San Francisco as an operations director at a large school and parish. He oversaw all building and maintenance projects and renovations as well as managing the budget for the facility.
In 2022 Patrick and his family relocated to South Carolina to be closer to his oldest son and his newly born grandson. When arriving in South Carolina, he discovered Watercrest. It was a perfect fit where his knowledge of all aspects of a facilities operation could flourish and make a difference in our senior’s lives.
His greatest joy and accomplishment in his life is his family. Amy and he have been married for 30 years and have two sons, Andrew with his wife Catherine and James. They have two grandsons, Teddy and Alex.
