I've talked with Patrick several times on the phone concerning an upcoming deal and he dispensed practical advice each time. We met face to face last week. After our meeting my impression was one of quiet, confident, competence. A good complement to my own personality. Patrick comes highly recommended by a well regarded acquaintance and I look forward to writing the five star review.
