Welcome! I’m Patrick, I’ve enjoyed business and technology online since the late 90’s as a kid, and it’s consumed a lot of my life over the last 25 years since. I have an Electrical Engineering degree (2011).
- I’ve traveled all over the world in the last 15 years, including a year in South America, 4 months in Latin America, all over west, central, and eastern Europe all the way to Turkey, and all over Southeast Asia where I’ve mostly lived for the last 12 years. I love exploring new cultures and learning how different people live.
- I’ve launched over 100 different businesses online, around 10% have made any money.
- I’ve built SpeedSolving.com to 50,000 members, launched in 2005.
- I love speedsolving puzzles like the Rubik’s cube – my best single for 3×3 is 10.09 seconds, with a 12.41 official average (2011) (Here is a video of a 13.75 competition winning average).. I’ve attended 4 US National Championships, 2 World Championships, and several UK and Thai competitions over the years.
- I’ve invested into many markets, namely real estate. I’ve purchased 2 rental properties in the US, 2 properties in Thailand and have built 2 houses in Thailand. As a result, I’ve own 6 properties.
- I’ve acquired several websites and always looking for other opportunities.
I find technology like the internet and AI fascinating. It’s incredible billions of us can interact instantly online, which was never possible throughout history. I enjoy studying economics, philosophy, and business. Businesses create and shape the world. I love strategy and building things that other people use and value.
As J Paul Getty said: “There’s always opportunity because a business is just an idea that makes someone else’s life better and there’s unlimited ways to do so.”
In my free time, I like playing chess, sports, fitness and strength training, and reading.
In 2024 I became a father to my first son, which has been an incredible experience so far.
