I have been teaching social studies at Pattonville High School since 2020 and was previously at Hazelwood East High School. This is my 8th year in education and 11th year in coaching. I played high school softball at Civic Memorial High School in Bethalto, Illinois. I played college softball for two years at Lewis and Clark Community College and then finished my education and softball career at Lindenwood University in Saint Charles, Missouri. I have been a volunteer coach at Lewis and Clark Community College, assistant varsity at Granite City High School and Hazelwood East High School, and I have been a head coach at Hazelwood East High School for two years. This is my first year as head coach at Pattonville High School. I am very excited for this upcoming season and looking forward to what we can accomplish! Go Pirates!

My name is Victor Fink and I have been at Pattonville since 2012.  This year will be my 14th year in education and coaching, and I work in the social studies department at PHS.  I graduated from Pattonville in 2006 and then attended and played baseball at Illinois College in Jacksonville, Illinois.  I worked at Jacksonville High School for two years prior to coming to PHS.  This is my third year in the PHS softball program.  I coached football for 10 years before getting into softball, and I was recently named the head baseball coach for PHS.  My wife Kristine and I have been married 7 years and we have two kids, Emily and Max (they love coming to games to cheer on the Pirates!).
