Patrick grew up in Boulder, Colorado, and studies Neuroscience at the University of Colorado Boulder. This is Patrick’s first season guiding at Cascade and his first summer in Idaho! Don’t be afraid to give him the inside scoop on all the great activities Idaho has to offer. Growing up so close to the mountains has given him a love for the outdoors since he was a kid. Nothing lights his flame like sharing the experience of the outdoors with others. Patrick swam competitively for 10 years and is excited to put some of his swimming experience to the test this summer! Patrick hopes to pursue grad school in the future and is looking for a career where he can directly help people on a daily basis. In his free time, Patrick enjoys climbing, mountaineering, off-roading, camping, swimming, lifting, and guitar.
