Patrick was raised in Lancaster County and still values those experiences to this day. He crossed the state to study theatre arts and communications at Geneva College in Beaver Falls. After receiving his bachelor’s degree, he pursued a master of education degree in College Student Affairs Leadership at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. His national tour then moved him to work in residence education and housing operations at the University of Denver in Colorado. Most recently he worked in residence life at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. As much as he loves travelling domestically and abroad, he is pleased to be settling down with his wife and children in close proximity to his parents and siblings.
Patrick truly enjoys the learning process and reflects positively on the events that have led him to assume the role of director of Student and Enrollment Services at Penn State York. It is his goal to provide dynamic and enriching opportunities for student engagement. Penn State York has the resources of a major international institution and the welcoming approach of a caring community. Patrick is positive that you will find your place here at Penn State York. He believes that as much as we are Penn State, we are nothing without our students.
