Who Am I?
Hi there! I’m Patrick, and I’m beyond excited to welcome you to Hustle & Explore—a space where life’s hustle meets the joy of exploration. If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably someone who loves a good tip, thrives on curiosity, or just wants a real, unfiltered story. No matter how you got here, you’re in the right place.
Who Am I?
I’m a business owner, travel enthusiast, fitness coach, and someone navigating life with ADHD—a combo that keeps me on my toes daily. Back in July 2007, I co-founded MASC, a men’s skincare and grooming store. What started as a passion for self-care and helping men feel their best has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of.
When I’m not helping people elevate their skincare game or running our business, you can find me:
Working on my fitness, at Altea in their LF3 classes (that I used to also coach myself as a CPT) or otherwise working out on my own. I also attend Barry’s bootcamp often and play soccer in a recreational league in spring and summer
Traveling the world with my amazing fiancé, Callum (a travel adventure photographer), as we soak up experiences and inspiration.
Spending time with our two dogs, Harper and Sully, who are basically the heartbeat of our home in Vancouver.
Why Hustle & Explore?
The name is more than a brand—it’s my way of life. Every day feels like a bit of a hustle: managing a business, staying active, and living with ADHD. But I’ve learned that life’s best moments often come when you pause the hustle to explore—whether that’s exploring new places, habits, ideas, or the harder, reflective parts of life. This blog is an open door into all of that.
What You’ll Find Here
This space is a mix of real stories, practical advice, and personal lessons. It’s not about perfection, but about showing up, navigating challenges, and celebrating wins—no matter how small. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect:
Living with ADHD: Hacks, struggles, and the tools that help me thrive.
Fitness & Nutrition: Easy, high-protein meals, workout hacks, and consistency tips.
Skincare & Grooming: From routines to advice, I share what I’ve learned co-founding MASC.

Entertainment Recommendations: Favorite shows, music, and playlists worth checking out.
What Makes Hustle & Explore Different?
It’s simple: this isn’t a perfectly curated highlight reel. I want this space to feel like a conversation, full of real moments—both the good and the messy. Whether you’re here for practical advice or just want to follow along on my journey, my hope is that you leave feeling inspired, informed, or at least with a smile on your face.
