If you couldn't figure it out from my MySpace screenname, I'm Patrick, and I live in Phoenix.
Prior to becoming the Official National Anthem Singer of the Phoenix Coyotes beginning with the 2005-2006 season, I had performed for 10 to 20 games each year since they moved to the valley from Winipeg, Manitoba in 1996. I'm proud to have been associated with the Coyotes organization for the past 10 years, and feel honored to have the opportunity to sing for the best hockey fans in the NHL. I'm looking forward to working with a great group for the 2007-2008 season... especially the Coyotes Event Presentation team (Executive Producer Matt C., Paul, and their staff), the in-arena hosts Woody & Gadger, the beautiful girls of "The Pack" dance team, the "Snow Patrol" promotions team, the Coyote with whom I share jersey number 96 - Howler - the best mascot in the NHL, and of course the guys who run the sound board - working their magic every night to make my voice sound much better than it really is!
If you see me at one of the games this season, please stop me and say hello. I love meeting Coyotes fans.
In my real life I have a Bachelors degree in Administration/Management, and work as a Software Quality Assurance Analyst in the I.T. department of a local Scottsdale company.
I grew up in Vancouver, WA, went to college at Central Washington University, and lived Kirkland, WA prior to moving to the Valley of the Sun in 1995.
Recently married to my wonderful wife, Christy (number 1 in my heart AND on my Friends List), who has blessed me in many ways, but especially by bringing her three wonderful children from a previous marriage into my life. And on December 7, 2006 we welcomed our own OWN little one (my first, Christy's fourth)... Addisyn Lily-Reese Lauder!.. BlingJam Page Editor
