Meet Patrick Scully

I've said in previous posts I would feature one board member every now and then.  Today I would like to tell you about Patrick Scully.  He is the vice chair of Sole Hope and owns Scullytown.  There are a few words that describe Patrick accurately and I think everyone who knows him would agree there are a couple things that just stand about him.

Patrick is a creative genius, business dude (not a "business man"...that would require a tie and I don't think I'll ever see Patrick in a tie) who is passionate about a few things in life!  In no certain order his passions would include (in my humble opinion) God, his family, Scullytown, Sole Hope, Crossfit and coffee.

  He was so ready to learn how to make the Sole Hope shoes for himself.  In fact, the pair on this little boy Joshua's feet were made by Patrick a couple weeks before we left.  

I love the perspective Patrick brings to the Sole Hope group...he is a leader but is also humble enough to be led.  After taking a trip with him to Africa I can honestly say it is our pleasure to have him on the Sole Hope team!  His wife, Alyssa is equally as awesome...I'll have to write about her next time.  I cannot say enough wonderful things about Patrick so I'll just share some pictures with you... 

Above: this is the Sole Hope Uganda team.  Patrick is in the middle back row with another board member of ours, Hugh Wright.  Holly and I are the two slightly less tan people in the front row.  ;)

I only knew the working Patrick for the first five years I knew him... (P-please don't kill me for showing this) but don't let him fool you.  This man can be c-c-crazy!  Here he is riding a bike in Uganda with our African brothers Moses and Zziwa.  

Patrick's heart was stolen by the children in Uganda and Zambia!  His world was rocked and he was forever changed on the March 2011 trip with Sole Hope.
