Kevin Patrick

I was born and reared in Oakland, California. I attended Skyline High School and King Jr. High. I started playing golf when I was twelve years old and fell in love with the game. I attended Grambling State University on a golf scholarship and majored in Computer Science. I've been working in the IT field since I graduated from college.

Soon after college, I married my college sweetheart and landed a job at a well-known software company. We moved to Boulder, Colorado and started a new chapter. A few years later we'd be blessed with a daughter. Wow!

When I first laid eyes on our daughter, Asha, I knew the game had changed when our eyes locked. Immediately I knew I was experiencing a new kind of love. It took me by surprise because I had no clue this type of love existed.

Two months later, I had a car accident where I was paralyzed. You can only imagine this change. It felt like my world had stopped. But I had a solid reminder that it was still moving from my wife, Carla, and Asha.

OK Kev, what are you going to do? Sink or swim? I understood this was not a dream. This was the real deal. I told myself, "let's ride!" There's too much at stake to falter. They're depending on you and for this task I was built.
