Patrick Henry is a professional speaker who uses music, original songs and humor to entertain, educate and inspire audiences across the country. For 10 years, Patrick was a professional songwriter and musician in Nashville, Tennessee. He combines his 20 plus years as a performer with a strong message that is bringing audiences from coast to coast to their feet and begging for more.

His most requested speech "KEEPING YOUR TEAM IN TUNE....How to have customers, clients and co-workers singing your praises" shows audiences how to build their brand, both as a group and as individuals in order to increase productivity. Patrick has spoken across the country to more than 1,000 audiences ranging from students to executives. Patrick continues to believe that "if you do what you love to do for a living, you'll never work a day in your life."

After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1994, Patrick decided to turn his passion into a profession and moved to Nashville, Tennessee. While living in Nashville, Patrick was a regular performer at the Bluebird Café. The Bluebird is a world famous songwriters "joint" that has been known to be host to some of the best songwriters in the world. Patrick will eagerly tell you that he is NOT one of the best songwriters in the world. Although he wrote good songs while in Nashville, he loves to say that the guys who get rich write great songs. The songs that Patrick became known for around Music City were his funny songs. These were the songs that he wrote for fun and had no real chance of making any money....until now. Patrick has combined his funny songs, stories and message into a program that is taking the meetings industry by storm.

When not performing and speaking, Patrick enjoys spending time with his wife Lesley and their three children, Jack, Robert and Meredith. He hates jogging but does it anyway and is a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Patrick competed in his first triathlon in 2008 and although he called it, "the most miserable experience of my life," he is hooked and now competes around the country. Do you know what you call someone who comes in last place in a triathlon?.........A TRIATHLETE. "We are all competitors" Patrick says, "on the mat, on the field, in the classroom or in our jobs. The one who wins is usually the one who best plans to do so."
