Patrick O'Brien was born in Michigan. He grew up fishing for bluegills and trout, and hunting squirrels, rabbits, ducks and deer.  As an adult, Patrick gained a wide base of experience in many areas of employment.  A list of his jobs would include but not be limited to concrete finisher, cellular phone technician, artist's agent, radar technician, ranch hand, horse trainer, airstrike coordinator (USAF) and wildland firefighter.  While working for an outfitter, he filled the roles of chef, packer and guide.

 

In central Montana, where he resides with his lovely wife and two wonderful boys, Patrick enjoys hunting birds, pronghorn, deer and elk.  He also enjoys doing sculpture, painting, freelance writing, and cooking.  Currently, Patrick is engaged as a self-employed home remodeler and is in the confection retail business. He believes his life will be a success if he can earn but three titles: Father, Rifleman and Patriot.
