Patrick Spatz

Worked for a large CPA firm before being hired away by one of their clients in the trade show industry. With the help of an SBA loan, I later started my own business in that industry and located it in one of the very first business incubators. After twenty years I sold that business and accomplished a lifelong dream by joining the Foreign Service, serving at US embassies around the world. I am now associated with Lake County College's Small Business Development Center, mentoring start-ups and assisting with their accounting (Quickbooks).
