Pat has over 30 years in the data protection market representing the top providers of tape based solutions as well as dedicated disk and backup to the cloud.  He started in the business with Cipher Data Products providing the 9 track reel to reel systems that you see in the old movies when they show a computer room.
 
Based in the Golden, CO area, Pat travels across the US to meet with HPE Partners and motivate sales teams to expand their storage solutions to include LTO tape and RDX removable disk solutions. His roots are still in Southern CA, where he attended UCSD and graduated from UCLA.
