Patrick’s personal “rags to riches” story has become an inspiring part of his motivational speeches. Born in 1970, the 6th of 7 children under 10 years old, Patrick grew up poor — extremely poor. All 7 children slept in 1 bedroom at 645 7th Street in Sparks, Nevada.

Incredibly, his first job was at the age of 5 cleaning dental clinics with his father and older siblings each evening from 6-10pm, 5 nights a week.

Thrown out of his home at 17, expelled from high school multiple times, and never taking the SAT or ACT tests, Patrick eventually entered college at 21, graduated with a bachelor’s degree, and started multiple businesses before the age of 30. by his 32nd birthday, patrick was a self-made millionaire.
