Patrick Iverson-Searer

My name is Patrick but everyone calls me Pat. I am from Upstate New York. I am just now starting my Masters work after taking way too much time off from schooling and advancing myself and my career. I am currently working as an Elementary Teacher. 

I have been working with children and families in some capacity for a fairly long time however, when I first started my journey I had attended college to become a teacher. I had unfortunately become discouraged when I was not able to land something in the teacher field. It wasn't until I knew that my life was going to change forever (becoming a father) that I really buckled down and really made a push for what my ultimate goal was in life; become a teacher. I am now working to do anything and everything to make my sons life the best he could possibly have and to give him every opportunity in the world and of course to show him that if you want something bad enough, you can obtain it. He is my biggest inspiration to do my best and be the best me I could possibly be.

Some Fun and Interesting Things about me: 

It was not until I was with my now wife that I had finally gotten the chance to see the ocean (in my mid 20's). I actually get to do a fun second job where I get to work at a local comic-con where I get the opportunity to work alongside the celebrity guests and have actually become friends with some of them (I have met a ton of people I grew up either seeing or hearing). I am actually a published Comic Artist (no not with Marvel or DC). I love to bake and cook and have actually learned how to cook a lot from a well known Brazilian chef that was actually on the Netflix show "The Final Table." I am really big into corny dad jokes that make my wife roll her eyes. Only in my early 30's I have been able to do and accomplish so much to the point where I can honestly say that after I visit Europe (Ireland) and hopefully one day have a baby girl (always wanted one of each) I will have done everything in my life that I have ever wanted to do.
