Patrick spent many of his earliest years looking through old holophoto albums and hearing stories from his mother about investigating the Orion Syndicate and some of the other members of Starfleet Intelligence that she had met during her career in the field. This settled the question of future occupation for Patrick at a very young age. He wanted to be an intelligence officer like his mother. Detective novels, spy movies, and espionage drama holodeck programs were a common recreational pastime for him. While his father would have preferred that he aim to go to law school, little could change his mind. | Patrick spent many of his earliest years looking through old holophoto albums and hearing stories from his mother about investigating the Orion Syndicate and some of the other members of Starfleet Intelligence that she had met during her career in the field.

Patrick was a very independent child. He would often walk around New York City from an early age and find ways to keep himself entertained. He would often walk to Central Park or the main branch of the New York Public Library. He also enjoyed visiting museums with his parents and family picnics at Pelham Bay Park. It was growing up exploring New York City that gave Patrick his keen senses and his fondness for New York-style pizza. Once he had completed his basic education, Patrick applied to Starfleet Academy and was accepted after passing the entrance exams with flying colors. | Patrick was a very independent child.

Following his initial surgery and recovery, Patrick began considering career alternatives to field operations in intelligence. Patrick's aptitude had been in tactics, active espionage, and interrogation as opposed to data analysis and covertly working with allies. With field operations less of an option, Patrick had to decide between adjusting to specialize in operations technology or analysis, or switching to a different major. After discussing it with academy faculty and weighing all of the options he decided to switch to the counseling major as he felt it made the best use of his skills. Psychology was a subject that he had already studied and enjoyed during his earlier years at the academy. He excelled in his new major for his last year at Starfleet Academy before being assigned to the {{USS|Columbia}} as a counselor. | Following his initial surgery and recovery, Patrick began considering career alternatives to field operations in intelligence.

However, Patrick did complete his Intelligence major as well so that he still had the option available in the future. | ||
