About Patrick (he/him)
About Patrick (he/him)
Fall 2025 marks my 25th anniversary as a part-time instructor here in the Department of Community and Public Health. I've taught Men's Health since 2003. My goodness, how time flies!
I'm also a full-time housing advocate and public health educator. I currently administer Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) programs for the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH). PSH is often the first place unhoused people live when they exit the streets.
I received my Master of Public Health (MPH) in 1989 from the University of South Carolina. I spent the first half of my career working to help stop the spread of HIV in the LGBT community, beginning in South Carolina and then here in San Francisco, CA. The 'second half' of my career has been devoted to working with adults returning to the workforce and helping people to move from homelessness to housing. I moonlight as an actor, singer, dog daddy, and husband of over 29 years.
I believe that health is about enjoying life to the fullest and ensuring that everyone has the right to do so.

Adding a class after it is full:
If the course has not yet started and it is full, put yourself on the waitlist. Then monitor your CCSF email -- if a spot opens, Admissions & Records will let you know and then you have only a day or two to claim that spot, before it goes to the next person. If the course has already started, there's no waitlist -- instead, submit a request for class add authorization through the registration system (known as MyRAM or Web4). Then send me an email to tell me why you want to take the class. If there's space, I'll authorize your add request. Then you can add the class. Note -- you aren't added to the class when I authorize it, you still have to add it yourself. (That's because registering (or not) is your choice, not ours.)
