Bangor, Maine
Patrick joined WABI in July 2024 as the Weekend Meteorologist.
Patrick grew up in the small town of Norwich, Vermont, where he spent most of his childhood playing sports and spending time outdoors. Patrick’s interest in weather grew after Tropical Storm Irene caused mass flooding and devastation of the Connecticut River Valley in 2011.
Patrick went to college and graduated from Vermont State University - Lyndon with a B.S. in Atmospheric Sciences, concentrating in broadcasting. While at Lyndon, Patrick was a member of the Men’s Soccer and Tennis teams. He captained the Men’s Soccer team during his senior year. Patrick interned and was a freelance meteorologist at ABC22/FOX44 in Burlington throughout his college days. He also was a student meteorologist for Lyndon’s college news station, News7.
In his free time, Patrick enjoys the outdoors through biking, hiking, and skiing. You can also find him on the golf course, the soccer field, or on the tennis court. Patrick is a big fan of all New England sports teams, and loves to watch Liverpool FC, his favorite soccer team over in England. Patrick has three dogs back home: Katie, Venus, and Lucy, which he spends lots of time running around and roughhousing with.
Patrick is very excited to be in Maine! You can watch Patrick on Weekends here at WABI.
