About Pat

I have always been heavily involved in sports since I was young. I was a high level gymnast and lacrosse player for a long time so I’ve been exercising and using performance nutrition for specific goals for most of my life. Not only has it allowed me to live a healthy life, but it has also provided me with amazing opportunities to travel the world, meet great people, and even continue to compete in sport now as CrossFit athlete into my 30s.

BIGGEST FAILURE AND HOW YOU OVERCAME IT?
In my sports career my biggest hurdles were probably in 2019 and 2020. I had back to back poor performances at the Games after 3 consecutive podium finishes. In 2019 I was cut before the end of the competition and in 2020 I suffered a groin injury that held me back significantly. It was a bit jarring to my identity as an athlete and I spent some time using my skills as a physical therapist to rehab my groin well and had lots of discussions with family and friends to rediscover where performance truly ranked in my self identity and what I enjoyed about my sport. The following year the introspection and rehab came together to create another podium performance.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD ABOUT?
To date I'm most proud of my second place finish at the CrossFit Games in 2021, for a few reasons. It was a comeback performance after two difficult seasons, and also was only a few months after my son was born. With my life in a bit of chaos and during a major shift I was able to work together with my wife to balance everything and turn out a great performance.
BEST ADVICE FOR OTHERS?
Health and fitness is a lifelong journey and everyone's journey is different. Just start.
FAVORITE PRODUCT?
Perform and Threshold Pre workout - I'm really busy with work, training and family, so depending on the day I could be training at random times. I like having the option of a pre workout with or without stimulants depending on my goals for each session. Superior Protein - Hitting my nutritional needs when I'm at peak training, chasing a kid around and working can be hard. I love having a good go to protein that I can trust to give me a boost in the day when I need it.
