About Coach Pat

My wife Jill and I moved to East Greenbush in 2020 from Oneonta, NY. I joined the board in 2025 after serving as an Assistant Coach for one of our flag teams in 2024. Growing up in Waverly, NY and playing baseball starting at a very young age -athletics has always been at the forefront of my life. Im also a devoted Buffalo Bills and Penn State Football fan. 

As a board member and coach, my goal is to do whatever it takes to help build the football brand and culture in East Greenbush - from flag to varsity. 

Having a fun and competitive football program for young athletes and parents is paramount. 

Our son Mel is in his second year in the Pop Warner flag program. Mel also wrestles, plays indoor flag football and plays travel baseball at EGC. 

As we approach the 2025 season, I’m very much looking forward to the continued building of our football culture and being a part of this great program. 

The future of East Greenbush/Columbia Football looks very bright. Go Blue!
