Chief Technology Officer
Pat has been starting and helping businesses grow since the mid 90’s. He is a technologist and leader of teams, who loves nothing more than helping others solve hard problems. With a BS in Computer Science from the University of Evansville and an MS in Computer Science from the University of Virginia, Pat was prepared to spend a happy career in academia teaching Computer Science until the entrepreneurship bug bit him. He started his first company, an innovative and successful dial-up Internet Service, in 1994 which led to a 15-year career in telecom culminating in a successful exit in 2010. After a period of technology consulting, Pat co-founded and served as the CEO of Motivating Systems and helped grow their flagship PBIS Rewards service into a very successful Ed-Tech offering. Motivating Systems was acquired by Navigate360 in 2022, and Pat now serves as part of the executive team.
