It’s time to re-meet Pat and learn a little more about what he gets up to outside of Harris Black.

He enjoys gardening, mountain biking, walking his dog Colby and watching YouTube. Pat is looking forward to a well-deserved Christmas break and the upcoming Brentnalls conference in New Zealand in February. If he could live anywhere, it would be a cozy log cabin in Whistler, Vancouver.

If Pat could only eat one meal for the rest of his life, it would be pizza. His dream dinner party would bring together an interesting and entertaining mix of his partner Jas, his grandma, Hamish Blake and Andy Lee. When it comes to cooking, Pat enjoys putting together everything from arancini balls and cottage pie to garlic bread and his famous cookies with Nutella and caramel.

Pat’s first job was as a cook at KFC, where he spent four years, and he could happily give a 40-minute presentation on all thing’s coffee. One of his favourite Harris Black memories is his first Staff Day, which featured an Amazing Race style game through the Botanic gardens and a teppanyaki dinner.

With plenty of interests outside the office, it’s great to re-meet Pat and learn a little more about what makes him tick.
