Welcome to Hustle & Explore
Hi there! I'm Patrick, and I'm beyond excited to welcome you to Hustle & Explore—a space where I share the highs, the lows, the hacks, and everything in between. If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re someone who thrives on curiosity, loves a good life tip, or is just looking for a real and relatable story. Either way, you’re in the right place.
Who Am I?
I’m a a business owner, a travel enthusiast, certified personal trainer / fitness coach and someone living life with ADHD—a combination that keeps me on my toes daily! I co-founded MASC, a men’s skincare and grooming store, back in July 2007. What started as a passion project has grown into something that allows me to connect with people who care about self-care, grooming, and feeling their best.
When I’m not working, you can find me coaching fitness classes at Altea gym, traveling the world with my amazing fiancé, Callum, a travel adventure photographer, or spending time with our two dogs: Harper & Sully. Vancouver is home, and it’s where I juggle all these pieces of my life.
Why Hustle & Explore?
The name says it all. We only have one life to live and there’s only so much time - so it feels like a bit of a hustle—whether that’s running a business, staying active, or managing life with ADHD—but I never forget to explore. Explore new places, new ideas, new habits, and even the challenging parts of life. Often times, that’s where the hustle slows down and you’re reminded to take time to pause, reflect, be in the moment. This blog is an open door into that journey.
What You Can Expect
I’ll be sharing content about:
Living with ADHD: My personal hacks, struggles, and ways I’ve learned to thrive.
Fitness & Nutrition Tips: Simple, high-protein meals, workout hacks, and ways to stay consistent.
Skincare & Grooming: Advice, routines, and lessons from co-founding MASC.
Entrepreneurship & Business Life: What it’s really like running a business, dealing with challenges, and finding balance.
Travel & Adventure: Stories, hacks, and tips for making the most of trips, both big and small.
Family & Personal Life: I’m adopted, and my parents are elderly—my dad has Alzheimer’s—so I’ll be sharing my experience navigating this part of life.
Home Life Hacks: The little things that make managing a home smoother and more fun.
Favorite Shows, Music, and Playlists: Because who doesn’t love a good recommendation?
What Makes This Different?
I want Hustle & Explore to feel like a conversation. This isn’t a perfectly curated life—it’s a mix of real experiences, wins, struggles, and lessons learned along the way. Whether you’re here for advice or just to follow along, I hope you find something valuable and relatable.
Join Me on This Journey
I’d love for you to explore this space with me, leave comments, share your own stories, and connect on social media. You’ll also see a mix of blog posts, videos, and other content formats, so there’s always something new to check out.

Patrick
