Patrick Hight, PMP

Thank you for visiting, whether this is professional or personal.

Striving to be the best... son, father, leader, follower, believer, and technically-oriented quasi-geek with a lean toward customer satisfaction and positive relationships.

Our lives are what they are as a result not of circumstance, but of the choices we make.

If you want to succeed in the world you must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on to dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside until some one comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.
-- John B. Gough

Professionally, Patrick is a PMI-certified Project Management Professional, and has been in IT for 30-plus years, having worked in public and private sector positions. While he has enjoyed the technical aspect of the "computer world" environment, working as a programmer and analyst over the years, as a Project Manager Patrick also has the opportunity to be more directly involved with his customers. While this has sometimes been both a challenge and a positive relationship, the responsibility to provide relevant information to multiple levels of management and staff has been his for more than 15 years. He is still as driven as ever to produce timely, appropriate solutions -- to deliver what the customer REALLY wants -- as well as making sure his team has the tools needed to accomplish their tasks. Providing pertinent, succinct information was a skill Patrick relied upon heavily as a 20-year high school football official, interacting with players, coaches and fellow officials, and he brings that ability into his professional role as well.

Patrick's firm belief is "Do It Like It Means Something... Because It Does!"
Having a number of people in his life who are cancer survivors, some who have experienced cardiac events, and getting involved in multiple charities to support people facing many different challenges, Patrick truly believes every person should find a social cause in which they are interested or to which they may have a personal connection, and get involved. Whether you become an advocate for survivors or want to help in the search for the cure to some disease, seek out financial supporters for a social cause, or contribute your own time in a particular way, you can not only help to improve your social environment, you can have a positive impact in the lives of others -- AND your own!

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, as long as ever you can. -- John Wesley
