Patrick went from flat broke to owning a 7 figure business in under 3 years. An immigrant from Nicaragua he knows full well how much hard work can impact your life. He scaled the corporate ladder for 20 years but never really broke out until after 2017. It was one week before Christmas when he was let go from his position as CFO of a $25MM restaurant group, with only one week of cash flow left to support a family of four there was only one way to go, up. He vowed never to leave the fate of his family in the hands of others.

Using the knowledge gained from listening to podcasts like The MFCEO Project, Patrick began to make small gains on his entrepreneurial journey. He now co-owns a food truck manufacturing company in Houston Texas doing 7+ figures as of 2020 with dreams of becoming the largest food truck manufacturer in the world.
