Patrick’s hobbies include hunting and especially fishing. One day, while fishing on a lake on the west coast of Ireland he noticed a beautiful woman across the lake and "hooked on to more than a fish". He followed Sharon to the United States and the two married and settled together in Portsmouth. Patrick met Joe Shanley who eventually represented their interest by selling he and his wife’s home. He joined the Shanley team in 1995, and has been a key to the success of the Property Management division.
