"His presentation blew away my expectation. I expected a cliched speech mixed with corny dancing,but it was entertaining and very relatable for not only the group of students that attended, but for myself,a college graduate. He accomplished the main goal which was to get the kids involved and
motivated to pursue a higher education. If your group attending will be college students and younger, he is the perfect choice...."

As a third-party planner, I first hired Patrick in 2013, and I continued to work with him on teen events including conferences, advocacy events and team-building retreats. Whether he was in front of an audience of 500 or 12, Patrick delivered an energetic and engaging audience experience. He received excellent feedback from both teens and their adult program leaders, plus my clients were consistently happy with his performance. Patrick is versatile often filling roles as keynote, emcee and youth leader. He has great program content and never hesitates to integrate this with event-specific topics and messages. If you’re planning a youth event, I cannot recommend Patrick enough! He’s easy to work with, brings a high level of energy and excels at motivating youth.

"I first heard Patrick speak at a National Leadership Conference for FCCLA ... of course, Patrick was a hit. Evaluations were 100% positive. We decided it was time for a return visit (4 years later) and once again Patrick did not disappoint. Provided a positive message to ...members while having fun with crowd interaction, then interacting with them during intermission and post conference. If you are looking for a high energy keynote speaker that can interact with the crowd while sending a positive message, Patrick is the one you want."

"More than 5,900 nationwide members, advisers, alumni, and guests of FCCLA gathered in Nashville to celebrate this year’s [theme], “Beyond the Label.” Patrick Perez served as a general session speaker...his performance was energetic, lively, and engaging...
Patrick used dance to motivate the audience to express themselves as individuals and go ‘beyond labels’. Patrick demonstrated the power of positive action through dance, and empowered our members with a sense of self. I would recommend him as an energetic and relatable presenter..."
