Patrick McBride

Patrick brings with him a wealth of experience from his previous role as Director of Operations at Mosaic, a hospitality group specializing in restaurants, catering, and event production. He was integral to the company's success, having spearheaded the launch of three new restaurants and the establishment of four commissary facilities in Virginia and South Carolina. Over the past 12 years, Patrick has traversed the East Coast extensively, working in diverse regions such as Virginia, North and South Carolina, D.C., Maryland, Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana, and Illinois. These experiences have allowed me to collaborate with a wide array of companies and venues, including those in higher education, convention centers, museums, and various outdoor settings. These experiences have honed my ability to adapt and excel in multifaceted hospitality environments.
