Background:

Patch grew up in a small town in Vermont, the son of a carpenter and a florist. His parents’ professions instilled in him a love for both craftsmanship and nature. From a young age, Patch was fascinated by how things were built and often spent his days in his father’s workshop, learning the trade. His mother introduced him to the beauty of the outdoors, teaching him about plants and the importance of living in harmony with nature.

Patch was a bit of a rebel in his teenage years, often getting into trouble for skipping school to attend concerts and festivals. Music was a major influence in his life, and he quickly became a part of the festival scene, following bands like Phish and the Grateful Dead. His love for music and craftsmanship merged when he started making and selling handcrafted goods at festivals, from jewelry to small wooden items.

After high school, Patch decided to forgo college and embrace a nomadic lifestyle. He became a full-time festival vendor, traveling across the country in his old Jeep Wrangler. He supported himself with his carpentry skills, taking on freelance projects in the towns he visited. This lifestyle allowed him to live freely, meet diverse people, and immerse himself in the counterculture he loved.
