Patrick is a United States Air Force and Space Force veteran turned aerospace engineer, channeling his technical expertise and real-world experience into gripping science fiction and technothrillers. Originally from the Philadelphia area and now living in Northern Virginia with his wife, four daughters, and dog, he crafts fast-paced stories blending hard science, military intrigue, and high-stakes conspiracies—such as the Grace Parkowski series (including Lag Delay and its upcoming sequel Crush Depth), the NASA Engineer thrillers like The Martian Incident, and epic sci-fi like The Europan Deception. Drawing inspiration from authors like Michael Crichton, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, and Tim Powers, Patrick’s novels deliver authentic, adrenaline-fueled adventures that explore the frontiers of space and human ingenuity.
