Patrick & Lyla Owner
Patrick is an avid golfer, guitar player, and dog lover. He is also our owner! A longtime customer, he decided in 2016 that it was time to bring Camp Bow Wow to the KC Metro area. So he left his day job and started work on the Westport Camp!
Previously, Patrick had worked in executive and management roles in both corporate and small business settings. He is a graduate of Belmont University with a BA in Organizational and Corporate Communications. Patrick is also on the Board of Directors of two Kansas City based charities.
His main interest is spending time with his family: his daughter Milena son James, his wife Brianne, his dogs Lyla (Golden Retriever) and Bowie (German Spitz), and his two cats Buddha and Phoenix.
