Patrick grew up in Greensboro, NC. He earned a B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at N.C. State University, focusing his graduate work and thesis on innovative computer chip production methods. Following his graduation in 1989, Patrick returned to Greensboro and joined his family’s mechanical contracting business.

In 1996, Patrick formed C.P. Eakes Company, a manufacturer of high-end custom metal goods. The company operates in Greensboro and produces a wide variety of products, including ornamental stainless steel and brass, pharmaceutical and food grade stainless steel machines, and many items for specialty contractors.

Patrick joined Crescent Rotary in 1998 and has been a committed Rotarian ever since. He served as President of Crescent Rotary Club in 2001-2002. He also led the club’s drive to become the first Triple Crown club (100% PHF, 100% Sustaining, 100% Benefactor simultaneously) in the Rotary world. Patrick has served District 7690 as District Conference chair (2004), Assistant Governor for 8 clubs (2004-05), and he was the district Rotary Foundation chair or co-chair for five years. During that time, the district became the first district in the Rotary world where every club (50 clubs) became a 100% Paul Harris Fellow club. In each of those five years, District 7690 also led the world in the number of 100% Sustaining clubs. Patrick has been honored with the Crescent Rotary’s club service award three times.

Patrick has served in leadership roles in many non-profit and community organizations, including the Greensboro Sports Council and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Patrick also served on the Wyndham Championship Board of Directors.
