About Me
Pat has lived St Thomas USVI since childhood,  and has been a member of St Thomas YC for over 50 years. He is still actively involved in sailing as a competitor, an IJ and WS Technical delegate, working with every sort of boat from Optimists at their 2012, 2019 Worlds in the Caribbean to Offshore Regattas. He has volunteered at local club events and most major Regattas  and the 2017 and 2019 PanAm Games. He has just been elected as VP to PASAF representing the interests of the Caribbean. For the last 27 years he has been Vice president Real Estate for Little Switzerland , responsible for organizing and completing large and complex projects and their day to day management in 39 stores on 14 Caribbean Islands.  His extensive travel across the Caribbean, for both for work and sailing allows him to understand and appreciate the different outlooks across the region. He is very comfortable working in Spanish, the language of his work force in his day to day work. He prides himself in being always approachable, and happy to listen to all sides and ideas. He is concerned for the entire fleet, not just the leading experienced racers. He has experienced firsthand the positive benefits and lifelong lessons from having been part of this wonderful sport.
