Patrick has been friends with Lauren Iscoff since she worked at the Doubletree Hotel in Modesto, California. He met her through his Public Speaking class at Modesto Junior College (MJC), in which he introduced the concept of his company entity for MCE123 to around 30 students in 2003. She was also the friend of Laura Townsley, whom Patrick was also friends with from knowing her as a fellow student at Turlock High School. Patrick once took Lauren's stuffed monkey as a joke, however he gave it back after she explained that her father gave it to her and it was special. Patrick, Lauren, and Laura often hung out in Modesto, CA in 2005-2006, including at the Hookah Bar on J Street. Lauren is now married and lives in the state of Oregon, with several kids of her own.
