    About Me

    I'm Patrick, a Christian, TV producer, writer and marketer with more than 30 years of professional experience. I started this blog 18 years ago as a place to search for common sense that seems to be missing from so many topics these days. I enjoy getting to know people over coffee and spending time with my Collie.
