Patrick's Story
Hi everyone, hope this finds you doing well. I would love to hear from everyone, my contact info is; 707-935-7118
I have been living in the Bay Area ever since graduating high school. For the past 15 years in the wine country of Sonoma.
I have 6 kids and 10 grandkids and to be honest that is what I spend a large amount of my time on, you could say that family is my hobby, although I¿m an avid WWII plane lover and have been collecting Pez dispensers for many years.
After 2 years at West Valley junior college, and getting married very young, I spent 15 years as a painting contractor, until one day I decided to get my oldest boy involved in martial arts. I signed him up at a local school and sat down to watch his class, about half way through I found myself saying hey. . . I could do this stuff, and the rest as they say is history.
I earned my first black belt 2 years later and opened a small club in Sonoma, at the local community center. We named it Sonoma Taekwondo Center and my first 3 students were my own kids, but slowly we out grew room 210 at the center and opened our own location in ...Expand for more
a small shopping mall. We expanded a few times and currently have a 3500 sq. ft. school with 200 students, and are celebrating our 20th anniversary in April this year.
Along the way I¿ve had the good fortune to marry Barbie (my wife of 25 years now) a wonderful woman that has been the backbone of our blended family and constant support for anything I do. 4 years ago we started an animal rescue that she has devoted her time to and has saved more than 1500 animals so far. I was honored by my community to be nominated by the California legislation as teacher of the year, I¿ve been able to work and train and have earned a 5th degree black belt. I am a member of the 1st Ultimate Black Belt Test in 2005, and have a job where I get to play with kids and be barefoot at 57 years old . . .
I have one son living in Florida, a daughter in South Carolina, two kids in Washington and two kids in the bay area very near us. With everyone doing well as of this writing I¿m feeling very blessed and fortunate to say the least.
Hope to see many of you at our 40th reunion
