Business Innovationist. As a card-carrying member of Generation Y, Patrick cannot help but be attached at the hip to popular culture and alternative media. His research prowess not only allows Creative Realities (CRI) to articulate the needs of younger consumers with accuracy, but also helps clients identify real opportunities, regardless of demographic or industry.

Patrick holds a B.A in English from Providence College in Rhode Island. His knack for editing and writing has come in handy at CRI, where he is regularly tapped to help craft language to communicate the essence of innovative new ideas. He is also the managing editor for Creative Realities’ The Innovationist, a newsletter that reports on global trends, cutting-edge new product & service introductions, and the latest news in business innovation.

Since joining CRI, Patrick has coordinated market research studies, facilitated ideation sessions and recruited expert thought-leader panels for innovation programs at Miller Brewing, USG (United States Gypsum), Cordis Endovascular and Bacardi USA.

Patrick continues to freelance, with his work most recently published in The Alembic, an international literary journal published annually by Providence-area academics. He has traveled extensively throughout Europe and spends as much time on Cape Cod as he can.
