DNA: Hi Patrick! Do you have a nickname? Patrick Abboud: I’ve been called Pat for as long as I remember. It’s funny, my dad is the only one who still calls me by my full name, in a very deep authoritative voice, so now when I hear someone address me as Patrick I feel like I’m in trouble [laughs]!
Okay, Pat, can we just say – you have a dream job! I’m very grateful for the opportunties I have. Storytelling is a powerful tool to bring people together; to instigate change and enrich lives. Whether on TV, in a theatre, at an event, on the radio or online, I love what I do so much. It makes me feel so alive and engaged.
