Vincent Patrick began his career in the lithography industry at Gore Graphics, rising from apprentice pressman to head pressman, mastering the operation of Meilhie and Heidelberg multicolor presses. During this time, he pursued studies in film stripping and plate making at LA Trade Tech, as well as Accounting, Computer Information Systems (CIS), and Business at El Camino College, where he gained programming knowledge ahead of the tech boom.

​​

After Gore Graphics was acquired by Applied Graphic Technologies (AGT), Vincent became the youngest account executive, managing major accounts like LA Gear, Skechers, Walt Disney, Columbia TriStar Pictures, New Deal Records, Miramax Films, and OSP (One Stop Posters). He played a pivotal role in archiving Disney’s physical library onto photo CDs, a cutting-edge project at the time, before founding SWING Graphic Communications in 1992, where he honed his entrepreneurial skills. In addition to his work in the graphics and media industries, Vincent worked as a writer for Coptom Productions and Atlantic Records, contributing to a variety of songs before transitioning to book writing. Moving into the private equity space, he focused on fostering bilateral growth between Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the U.S., working with human, natural, and financial resources. He now mentors private equity firms and helps develop SME startups (Small to Medium Enterprises and Startups).

​

In retirement, Vincent is dedicated to humanitarian projects through the Mending Goals Initiative, a Public Benefit Corporation, and Healing Actions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and Donor Advised Fund. He is also the author of several influential books, including Living In A Burning House, Mending Goals, Healing Actions, Principles and Purpose, and Work-Life Balancing YOU.
