I grew up in the St. Louis Park and Hopkins Community. I went to Junior High and some of the High school in Hopkins. My daughters and stepkids go to Hopkins and I moved back to Hopkins with my wife after my retirement from the Army. So ensuring that the right person is in the office that runs my city is very important to me and my family.

Patrick Hanlon is the right person for the job, he is someone that truly cares about the community that he grew up in and wants it to thrive and be a leader on many issues that the people truly care about.

Patrick talks to me about many of the issues that are important to him and what he sees for the future of Hopkins looks like.

Patrick comes from humble beginnings with a mother that became very ill when he was a young age but before her passing had already set important values and morales into him and that was to love and care for everyone and most importantly to always give back to the community and always listen to those around him and act with his heart.

This was very different from my usual episodes but definitely a great episode on many levels, this is an episode that is a must listen and get some great insight into the mind of someone that wants nothing but great things for his community and someone that is taking action into making a change on a bigger scale for his community.
