About Patrick

First and foremost, Patrick is a fallen being far from perfect in just about every way. Saved by Christ more than a decade ago, his life has been transformed. While there is more to Patrick than simply his redemption this must be placed up front because it is perhaps the most important brick in the foundation of this blog. Additional information about Patrick includes his home. He is a displaced native Minnesotan who has studied just about everything. He holds both a Bachelor of Science in Multi-Disciplinary Studies and an MBA with an additional emphasis on Public Relations, both from Liberty University.

Losing the Family Farm

Posted on 2021-10-03 by Patrick

Sticking it to the Man has long been a mantra of the American youth. For years we’ve been saying this, its a chant that I heard my peers both Liberal and Conservative throughout my college years. Some times the proverbial Man is the government, other times it is those wealthy elites that we don’t seem […]

Yesterday I found myself writing a short research paper for my MBA.  Without even thinking about it, I chose a topic which has been close to my heart now for 16 years, Linux.  My first introduction to Linux was in the fall of 1999, when I learned about Red Hat.  At the time, I was […]

2016 New Years

Posted on 2016-12-31 by Patrick

With every New Year comes a set of resolutions.  This years are not too different from last year, with some minor adjustments.   Running has been replaced with walking.  Perhaps I will run again, however my times are not as big a concern for me anymore.  Achilles pain has not subsided at all in almost […]
