For the past seven years Patrick has been Hammock Inc.'s production coordinator. After majoring in Art, he began his early career in publishing as a graphic designer. Over the years, his duties migrated into production, IT and web design. Since joining Hammock, his main focus has been on prepress, but he also will design or lay out anything when necessary.

As a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, along with his art background, Patrick handles numerous requests for retouching photographs. "Take out these wrinkles," "Make the skin not so green," and "Could you remove a couple pounds?” are just a few of the usual pleas he hears.

Other than manipulating photographs, Patrick makes sure that every file submitted for a Hammock publication will correctly print with no problems. He also supports the production workflow with production troubleshooting, scanning, profiles and monitor calibration.

A native New Englander, Patrick is a card carrying member of Red Sox Nation. (For real!) His other passions are the Patriots, Bruins and yes, he will admit, the Celtics. However, he does root for the Titans and Predators when they don’t play a New England team. When he is away from Hammock, Patrick enjoys spending time with his wife Aimee, son Sean and daughter Heather. He also enjoys coaching soccer and softball and will grab a chance to go golfing whenever time permits.
