Patrick "Pac Man" Perez | Award-Winning Speaker, & Dancer.

Epic Keynote Speaker

Patrick is a combination of rhythm, caffeine, and leadership with style! For nearly 20 years Patrick has traveled the country speaking to students, staff, and leaders on resilience, leadership, prevention and goal-setting. He was named 'Young Entrepreneur of the Year" by the Texas Small Business Administration and named a "Best Practice" by the Louisiana  National Guard Family Programs. 

Leadership With Style

Patrick is the author of four books, founded a non-profit student success motivational company called Lead, Encourage And Dance (LEAD), and ,in 2024, founded Baila and Beats; a grant funded event that celebrates the diverse rhythms of Texas communities.

Keep On Dancing

Patrick turned to dance in high school as a way to escape years of bullying by peers. Little did he know his passion for dance would open doors for him to help empower the lives of others. Patrick's motto, "Live to Serve," comes from a heart of service to others, but is rooted in resilience, power, and the culture of Hip Hop. Patrick's unique blend of Hispanic Culture, Hip Hop flavor and real world success has made him one of the few speakers around who can traverse between speaking to 5000 youth and then speaking to a  Fortune 10 company's global employee summit. Patrick is truly ready to help make your next event amazing!

It was AWESOME!  Everyone loved the message and how it was delivered. He also got the crowd involved and moving which fit right into our overall message (self image, peer pressure, leadership, and overall health). If you want a high energy, fun, interactive speaker Patrick 'Pac Man' is your Man.

Patrick was very energetic and had a great connection with the kids. His message was very on point and appropriate for the age group. He was able to inspire the kids and give them advice which can be applied to their every day lives...audiences were also engaged throughout his entire presentation.

"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..."
