Pat has been working in consumer products marketing for over 25 years and is now pivoting his expertise and following a passion for helping students navigate the college planning process and present their best selves to the colleges and universities of their dreams.

Pat earned a BS at Babson College and an MBA at Indiana University and has been working with friends and family over the years, assisting with their college lists and applications. With a highlight on helping his hearing-impaired adopted younger sister gain admission into the National Technical Institute for the Deaf and ultimately into a BS degree at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Pat loves working with young students and helping them reach their full potential. He’s a guest lecturer and serves as a special project instructor at his alma mater, Babson College, and the University of Maine.

Currently, Pat is a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association and is pursuing a graduate certificate in College Planning and Advising at the University of California Berkley.

Living in Falmouth with his wife, two boys, and three dogs, he enjoys watching his kids play sports and perform in the band. Pat and his wife are well-traveled, having lived in seven states as well as having worked abroad twice.

Pat started Advantage College Planning of Maine because he wanted advice for his own family and was struggling to get answers. If you are searching for answers for your student or if you are dreading the arguments over what to do post-high school, give Pat and his team a call to discuss our programs. With over 100 years of collective college planning experience in the Advantage College Planning network, we can help!
