Pat has formerly worked for a Mayor, State Senator, and City Councilmember. He is currently co-host and assistant producer on the Tone and Tenor bipartisan voices of the people radio show and consulting for environmental, political, and educational programs.
Pat has teamed up in Norristown PA and the Kensington & Fairhill sections of North Philadelphia because the distribution of resources has been proportionally uneven so he’s collaborated and galvanized efforts to rally support for the elderly, communities of color, migrant workers, undocuemnted people, children, and people that need a little help. These efforts have gone from helping 60 or so people to 1000 plus families since the end of March 2020. This has been a conglomerate of Tone and Tenor, West Philadelphia, MLK Non violence foundation, The C.H.A.R.L.E.S. Foundation and The Dr Nathaniel M. Robinson M.D. Legacy Foundation, along with individuals and local businesses that have donated time, food, toiletries, diapers, and other resources.
