Pat sets the vision for Accelerate and leads the highly qualified team of HR, Recruiting, and Development professionals. Accelerate focuses on bringing your team together through impactful engagement, finding the right people to deliver for your organization, and high-level leadership development. Each client for Accelerate is unique and brings their own set(s) of challenges when it comes to their people. Placing your company into a template would be a mistake. Through effective listening and understanding of your unique challenges, the Accelerate team will build a customized solution to help you and your organization reach its most critical goals. We recently worked with a client who was suffering with low employee retention. After an analysis, we were able to restructure their entire recruiting, onboarding, and development programs. Their retention in 2023 was 93% - up from 47% the years prior. This is one highlight. We are a strategic company helping our clients think and plan for the unknown. If your company is struggling with its people, reach out to Pat directly here on Linked In and let's see if there is a fit between your company and ours.

ACU is an accredited, private, non-profit, Christian university in Glendale, Arizona offering a wide variety of degrees preparing students for successful careers, while remaining committed to its vision of transforming culture with biblical truth. Students actively engage in biblically-integrated academics and gain a liberal arts foundation with critical thinking skills that last a lifetime. Spiritual development is also integrated within the University experience, where all four-year campus students receive a minor in Biblical Studies, attend chapel twice a week, and complete spiritual formation and service hours each semester.My role was to tell the ACU story and engage others to help us impact as many lives as we could by Transforming Culture with Truth.

My role included: Athletic Director, Teacher, Dean of Students, Mentor, Coach. Laying out the vision for growth and with the help of the "village" we built the athletic program from 37 students participating in three sport programs to over 600 athletes and 27 different sport programs and over 100 coaches. We pulled the budget from a negative 6-figure number to a plus side of over 7-figures by engaging the business community to our programs and redefining our revenue streams. Not only did we grow financially, we helped grow the student body and course selection available to our students.
