Patrick’s amazing story starts with his family immigrating to America when he was 10-years old. His parents fled Iran as refugees during the Iranian revolution and were eventually granted U.S. citizenship. After high school Patrick joined the U.S. military and served in the 101st Airborne before starting a business career in the financial services industry. After a tenure with a couple of traditional companies, he was inspired to launch PHP Agency Inc., an insurance sales, marketing and distribution company – and did so before he turned 30. 

Patrick also created Valuetainment, a media brand with the purpose of teaching fundamentals of entrepreneurship and personal development while inspiring people to break from limiting beliefs or other constraints. It has been referred to as “the best channel for entrepreneurs” online and has evolved into an emerging media network providing news, other content partners and a weekly podcast. Patrick speaks on a range of business, leadership and entrepreneurial topics including how and why to become an entrepreneur and the importance of learning how to fully process issues.
