Patrick is a junior in high school from Aurora, IL who joined Hack Club in 2020. In Summer 2020, He forced his high school to turn over grading data with a FOIA request, and then analyzed and published the results on a website and in his school newspaper.

Patrick also loves music. During Hack Club's Summer of Making 2020, he built an LED pixel display (powered by a Raspberry Pi and some Python) that displayed the album cover of songs he played.

*“When I first joined Hack Club, I was amazed (and a bit intimidated) by all of the products Hack Clubbers made. I shortly found out the power of Hack Club, and while collaborating with others on Hack Club, I was able to hack away and make the best summer I’ve had.”*
