Pat has been a jazz fan since he was elbow-high to an NBA point guard, and listens to all forms of the music. When life gets too rough, he retreats to his blanket fort and indulges in West Coast and mellower Blue Note sessions. On the Jazzbastard Podcast, Pat is the one with the nasal voice and the broken “off” button.

Pat lives in the glamorous Midwest, and he enjoys attending the Chicago and Indianapolis Jazz Festivals and pondering why country music exists. His other hobbies include playing alto saxophone, writing strange short fiction, and napping. If his ambition equaled his education, Pat would tell you not to worry about hypothetical situations.
