I often have the pleasure of working with Patrick on website designs and buildouts. It goes without saying that he is a fantastic designer. He has designed and built out some of the best websites Page 1 has ever produced. He is an excellent programmer and always tries to learn new techniques that he can use to make our clients' sites even more impressive. Even more impressive, however, is Patrick's consistent effort and attention to detail. He obviously loves what he does. It is a pleasure to have him on board at Page 1
