Patrick spent more than fifteen years on the inside of the field students are trying to enter — including time as a Senior Security Professional and an Offensive Security Lead. He has been the attacker and the defender, which is exactly why his explanations land: he isn’t describing security concepts, he’s describing his old job.
Students know him as InfoSec Pat — the reason review sections fill up with the same sentence: “best explanation by far.” His teaching style is simple and stubborn: break the hard thing down until it clicks, then put your hands on it in a real lab until it sticks.
At Career Path Partners he teaches the applied side of the cybersecurity path — the live-fire investigations, the SIEM alerts, the logs — so that by the time a student sits an exam or an interview, they aren’t recalling material. They’re describing work they’ve done.
