Elevator Pitch

The Definitive Dmbosstone is a place where I write about my life as a member of Generation-Y and how my world (as well as the rest of the world) is changing in a social media world. I tell stories, ask questions, and occasionally answer them.

Blogger Bio

Patrick has been blogging before it was called blogging. At the age of 15 Patrick started The Definitive Dmbosstone and 10 years later he’s still writing and is excited that it’s now kinda cool (unfortunately he’s still kind of a geek.) A social media aficionado, he writes about his many adventures living in The Nation’s capital, and how technology and other forces are changing the world for Generation-Y.  Patrick’s stories, rants, and opinions have been featured on The Washington City Paper and The Washington Express. In 2009 he was nominated blogger of the year by Brazen Careerist. Patrick was an extensive local blogger as City Captain for DC Metblogs and is now an author for We Love DC.  Patrick is also a contributor to sports websites 4 Sport Boston and GoGameFace.
