Personal

Pat was born and raised in Alaska, a product of two parents who suffered from acute wanderlust. In similar fashion, he wandered off himself, trading snow for rain when he moved to Oregon to become a Duck. Pat spent two eye-opening years in the Peace Corps in Haiti and is one of the few attorneys around who is conversant in Haitian Creole.
