You are in for a treat on this one team!  We can't thank Pat enough for taking the time to take us on his life's journey.  He is a constant learner who has found the silver lining in every situation life has thrown at him.

We get into a pretty deep topic early on in this way involving his brother's passing at an early age.  Pat goes on to say how his brother has and still does make an incredible impact in his life.

Pat has lived around Holliston his whole life.  Growing up in Milford most of his life, he graduated from Marian High School with a passion to pursue a professional career as a hockey player.  Pat tells us his story of his aspirations to play in the NHL.  His self awareness led him to know when enough was enough and to move on from the sport professionally.

Pat had a very interesting journey after he ditched his NHL dream.  He give us a thorough run down of his career path immediately after hanging up the skates all the way up to present day.

Another topic we dive into is how he found CrossFit, which also led to meeting his wife (and Firewall coach) Kerry!  He actually found CrossFit because he was lacking the competitive hockey edge he thrived off of his whole life.  From his hockey career, he has had a plague of knee injuries that CrossFit has greatly helped maintain and develop the surrounding muscles to sustain nearly pain free knees.

Hopefully this 45 minute interview was enough to give you a glimpse of Pat's past.  You can really tell towards the end how much CrossFit means to him and why he's so passionate about fitness!  Thanks again Pat for coming on, we'll have to do it again!
