Leadership
Patrick
Founder & Principal Consultant
Patrick founded Athena IT Group to bring practical, executive-level technology guidance to organizations that can't justify a full-time CIO. Based in Southern California, he advises small businesses and nonprofits on IT strategy, Microsoft 365 and Azure, web infrastructure and DNS, and the day-to-day systems that keep a business running.
His approach is hands-on and diagnostic: understand the business first, trace problems to their root cause across every layer of the stack, and leave clients with systems they understand and can rely on.
