Pat left school at 15 to become a millionaire, his trade then being a bricklayer.
By the age of 21
He had achieved his objective and turning over in the region of €70 million in today’s value as a property developer.
When Pat lost his focus, he lost everything and went broke at the age of 29: he was forced to refocus to save his sanity, his business and his family.
With a new set of goals to achieve, Pat re-focused his energy.
He used these new goals to pull himself from the depths of depression, to rebuild his business, his self-esteem and his confidence to go on to achieve what others said was impossible.
At the age of 29 Pat took up hill-walking, and on his second day on the hill professed he was going to climb Mount Everest.
His new goal became a turning point that sowed the seeds for a life of adventure. Just six years later at the age of 35 Pat had stood on the peak of Everest in May 1995.
As well as climbing Everest he rebuilt his business, set up a bank and then retired from the corporate world at the age of 40 to follow his current career as a team trainer, adventurer , explorer and motivational speaker.

South Pole, in honour of Ernest Shackleton and Ireland's unsung polar hero's, across the coldest, loniest, most barren, desolate and dangerous landscape on earth to reach the Pole on the 8th Jan 2008.
