Experiences in TV and filming in the field

Ever wondered what it was really like to be on location with National Geographic? BBC?  Travel Channel?  What about living with remote tribes in the far reaches of the world?  Pat wrote a book about it and would be happy to share with your audience!  Need a motivational speaker?  A speaker to help you direct your passions towards a life change?  Pat is the guy!  Maybe you just want to know what it's like to be an initiated member of the Satere Made Tribe?  Again - Pat is your guy!

Cancer Advocacy and personal stories

Pat was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer at age 30.  After 2 months in the hospital, over a dozen surgeries, and a year of treatments and therapies – he realized he needed to turn the experience into something positive and started speaking publicly about it.  It’s raw, darkly funny, and honest.
