About

 

My name is Patrick. I am a millennial living in one of the most transformation times in modern history. I write about change. How Generation Y is changing the world, how social media is changing the rules, how my own life is changing in my post-college years.

Thanks for visiting and I hope we can start a conversation sometime soon!

Who Is Patrick?
