Patrick Reagan

Development Director

You never know where life will take you. Launched from an elite Maryland private school directly into a mediocre Virginia university where he escaped with a computer science degree, Patrick leans on his two decades of experience when crafting software applications or feigning interest during meetings.

Today he writes Ruby code, automates system infrastructure, and has trolled everyone at Vidget at least once.
