He began his professional career in 1979 as a runner on the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Then he became a retail stock broker for several of Wall Street’s largest and most prestigious firms. After sixteen years as a stockbroker he made the decision to pursue his MBA in management. Pat graduated from The University of Notre Dame, Mendoza College of Business in 1996. He then joined the university as an employee in the College of Business focusing on executive education. The next job assignment was as the director of the university’s for profit media company. While at the media company, Pat demonstrated the ability to reverse the fortunes of an ailing operation. He left the university to accept a position as president of a technology company owned by one of the university’s trustees who was also the founder one of Wall Street’s most prestigious leverage buyout/private equity firms. After four successful years in that position, Pat decided to return home to Chicago. Since returning home employment has been sporadic and Pat has had to constantly reinvent himself as a business consultant. In the past seven years Pat has felt the trials and tribulations as a not counted member of the labor participation rate. The peaks and valleys of the past seven years inspired Pat to write this book with the hope of helping others who face the same challenges.view less
