With over a decade of jiu-jitsu experience under his purple belt, Patrick can be found teaching Introduction to BJJ — a class focused on brand new beginners — and helping out with the DMA kids’ program. He has previously trained under world famous black belts Marcelo Garcia and Ralph Gracie, and developed a particular passion for making jiu-jitsu accessible, fun, and safe for people of all ages and fitness levels. When he’s not teaching the gentle art, Patrick stays busy raising his family and leading the global tax division of a major pharmaceutical company.

Patrick is available for private lessons, and is especially interested in working with beginner students seeking out guidance on how to start their jiu-jitsu journey.
