BIO
Patrick "Pat" Cadichon is a native of Chicago's NW Suburbs and graduated from Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, IL. Pat attended Iowa State University on an athletic scholarship where he studied business management. He is an experienced general manager and director of operations with several years of experience in the retail, service, and amusement industries. After more than a decade in restaurant and retail management, he redirected his career to entertainment and enrolled at Columbia College Chicago where he graduated with honors earning a degree in film and video production.
As a Certified Life Coach with decades of experience in team development and business operations, Pat feeds his creative nature by producing hybrid events designed to educate, inspire, and motivate audiences through engaging entertainment while creating new revenue opportunities for businesses, communities, nonprofits, and people.
Pat's brief work in the media and entertainment industry was instrumental in helping the Oscar winning documentary, The Cove, get distribution in Japan. His work on an undercover sting operation was featured on national news and resulted in the closing of Hump, a Santa Monica, California restaurant that illegally sold whale meat from an endangered species.
As Pat continues to create opportunities that ultimately serve the greater good, he developed the platform VBO.events, a Virtual Box Office that functions as a collaboration catalyst for massive hybrid fundraising events. VBO enables like-minded groups, organizations, and people to participate in joint fundraising events that enable them to leverage the power of the collective to garner more sponsorships to fund Jaw-Dropping-Prizes that incentivize greater participation in VBO’s Collaborative Hybrid Events.
