Patrick, the creator behind Upwardpreneur, is an entrepreneur and US Navy veteran with a BA in political science from the University of Houston and certificate in studio music production from Berklee. He’s lived in over 25 different countries and speaks English, Russian, Spanish, and some Thai. He is an avid nature-lover who enjoys a hike on a sunny day through a national forest or down the coast of a Mediterranean country.
He got his start in marketing by going door-to-door in Los Angeles and helping local businesses with SEO. His business, marketing, and sales acumen were further improved by waiting tables and direct sales demos. And somewhere in there, he managed to produce some music that found its way onto MTV.
Eventually, Patrick got a few bigger clients and started some brands and products of his own, before setting out to explore the U.S. and the world.
